Daily Tech News 15 January 2026
Top Story
- A sad story with a happy ending.
Riot games just acquired Hytale developer Hypixel Studios. (April 2020) (WCCFTech)
Hytale is officially dead and its studio disbanded. (June 2025)
Hytale, the long-awaited Minecraft-like MMO, is resurrected and will launch in early access soon. (November 2025)
Hytale is saved says Hypixel founder as the studio's dev costs for the next two years have already been covered by pre-orders. (January 2026)
If you're interested in that kind of game - similar to Minecraft but with RPG elements and modding support built in - it's available in early access right now on the company's website.
For $20. (Engadget)
Because, to quote the founder of Hypixel Sudios, "The game is unfinished and runs on a build from over four years ago. Charging more didn't feel right. I don't think the game is good yet."
Honestly it seems to run pretty well, though I haven't spent much time in it. And I was running on a laptop with integrated graphics, so far from high-end hardware.
Tech News
- Cerebras has scored a $10 billion deal with OpenAI. (CNBC) (archive site)
Cerebras is the company that makes the wafer-scale AI CPUs, the ones with 900,000 cores on a single chip the size of a dinner plate.
- SK Hynix is investing $13 billion on a new factory... (Tom's Hardware)
... To assemble HBM chips for AI servers. Not for you.
- Now that the memory drought has dried up supply of DDR5 and the older DDR4 modules alike, DDR3 is next to go. (WCCFTech)
I have 96GB of DDR3 - at least - sitting in older computers. Much older. Built between 2011 and 2015.
- AI is a 400-year confidence trick. (Tom Renner)
I don't think you could generate music videos on a 17th century mechanical calculator, though.
- The Minisforum MS-S1 Max is the best Ryzen AI Max mini PC yet. (Serve the Home)
It certainly has the best complement of I/O: Dual 40GBps USB4 ports, dual 80GBps USB4 ports, dual 10Gb Ethernet, one HDMI, five regular USB ports, and three M.2 slots, and a PCIe slot (though just half height, single slot).
And it's 15% faster than the Framework Desktop apparently thanks to better cooling, because the two systems use the exact same CPU.
- Digg is back. (Tech Crunch)
Reddit ate Digg's lunch years ago after a the latter pushed out an extremely unpopular UI update. Now the founder has bought back the company and is trying again, It's a clean design and runs quickly, at least. And Reddit is a toxic swamp these days.

I kind of wonder if that's a Canadian connection. Both are border states. Washington, in particular, is getting a Nutrien port for Pot Ash distribution. It's supposed to be a $1 Billion project...so chances are Canadians are moving down into that area for future employment. And Canada as a whole is tanking hard.

A few years back, I was residing temporarily in Tyler, TX. When I registered my truck, I asked the lady what "kind" of Californians were moving in. She said the majority seemed to be conservative, leaving CA for that reason.
I think around Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, the answer may be otherwise.

Apparently another shooting in the land of mutant militant lesbos again. Unconfirmed. So says the NY Post.
They are going to keep doing this. Altho I belive President Trump is a great multi-tasker, he has other fish to fry in Iran currently. This is on the back whiffle ball burner. Soon, Walzie. Soon.
I have to wonder how many illegals ICE captures and then has to beat off ugly pierced lesbians. If they are clinging to their precious Somolians I just say take them, too. Send them all to Somolia. The lesbos can get to know them better and no one will miss either.

Well, that was fun. Just got back from the ER. Posting thread before last, after my last post about Iran, I noticed I was feeling sort of jumpy, like an adrenaline rush. Noticed my heart seemed to be beating fast. Put the pulse oximeter on. Heart rate 150ish.
So, off to the ER Miley and I went. On the way over, heart rate dropped to the 120ish level. Was 110 when I got in there. BP was 160/95. Lots of blood work. EKG normal, heart rate had calmed down to 90.
Everything looked normal. Did notice a couple of skipped beat sensations during all that. Doc referred me to cardiologist, thinks "something is going on".

This happened about anh hour ago. What the New York times left out of the headline is the immigrant is an illegal alien from Venezuela. He was being arrested for being in the country illegally and while beging arrested began to violently assault the arresting ice officer. Shortly after this, two other perps joined in and began beating the ice officer with a snow shovel and a club. The officer at this point defended himself and with his firearm and ended up shooting the illegal alien in the leg. The officer and the illegal are in the hospital and the other two perps are arrested.

I thought it might be a reaction to the TNF blocker infusion I get for the RA. I had shingles back in Nov, and so skipped the infusion, and it's thus been 4 months since the last one. Rheumatologist retired this year, and I had to get in with a new practice, and they finally got set up to do the infusion today, which I did around 4PM.
So, I wondered if maybe it was some crazy start after stopping for a while reaction. That stuff does have some association with heart problems, but I'd been taking it for years with no problems. RA itself long term does have heart effects.
So, there you go. Doc didn't think it was a reaction, just maybe coincidental. Anyway, they'll likely put me on some sort of monitor for a while and see if they see anything funny going on.

Greenland: yes
Cuba: yes
Government shutdown: no. This is a House election year, and I think they know the voters are sick of that bullshit
More than six Starships? Yes
SpaceX IPO? Not a chance. Musk isn’t gonna give up that much control, and it’s not like he needs the money.
Russia/Ukraine? Don’t know, don’t care. Wildcard outcome: Poland bites off a good-sized chunk of Ukraine itself, possibly due to reviving the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth. Ideally this will involve Winged Hussars.
Fed Chair: I think there’s a good chance that the Fed as we know it is gone by the end of the year.
Dem control of House. I don’t think so.
More than 14 magnitude 7.0 quakes? Sure, that’s about an average number, actually (I didn't see anything about doing research... if that wasn't supposed to happen...Oh, well. I cheated on this one)
Supreme Court Justice stepping down? Depends on the results of the midterms. If the Republicans have solid control of the Senate afterward, I could see Thomas retiring. Otherwise, no.
Olympic medals: no clue. Silly wild-assed guess: yes.

Wouldn't be me. I know some things, but not like I know harley. The indian 4 was actually originally designed and built by Ace motorcycles, Indian bought them out and the 4 was an Ace design, but indian kept trying to improve it and fiddled with some things over the years. They stopped making them in the really early 40's. If I remember right indian ended up hiring one of Ace's engineers to help with the tinkering. It was an IOE engine, Intake over exhaust. I don't remember when but they tried to reverse that and build it as an exhaust over intake, and it ended up as a ball burner to anybody who rode it, so it failed and they returned to the original configuration. Kind of why I said it was interesting.

Heart rate jumping up to the 150s like that for no reason just sitting there is odd. Thinking about it, I've noticed skipped beat sensations when I get an adrenaline surge, like with a startle such as a loud noise or a near miss thing driving, where you get startled and have to slam on brakes. Heart rate accelerates and then the skipped beat.
It seems sort of like a PVC. Thump..thump...thump...thumpThump.....miss...thump...
So, something is likely going on, and it's just starting to show up.

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.
In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.
The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.
As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.
Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.
All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.
The attacked officer and subject are both in th

My husband says I tell everyone else to go to the doctor but I try as best I can to avoid it myself.
I see a cardiologist in a week for my done fall out, that I don't think was cardiac related (in early November). No other symptoms and I have done this before from dehydration and insomnia. I am a strange bird.
I do have an irregular heartbeat (asymptomatic), need to lose wt and watch my mostly normal hypertension. I am very irritated about the entire thing. The echo showed some crap that we don't think is going to kill me. I am hoping the PA simply tells me to lose wt and puts me on new meds.
Today I promised my husband I would be as brave as I always have been, and quit worrying. I don't worry 24/7, but sometimes I think about crap that I should not and let my fear turn to faith.
Hope your heart is just jumping around and will settle down. I don't feel mine, but did in the past.

First off: this pic is probably from England. Notice the sign by the window? RAC Service Depot? That's Royal Automobile Club. And the Shell pump reads "Shell Motor Spirit". That's Brit usage for sure.
The pickup, which is a Ford, I believe, looks like it might have an Amoco or Phillips logo on the door.
Could be an "old" photo, taken any time from the 1950's to the 1990's, at some well-off Brit's car and petroliana collection. Does not look like an organically "real" picture.

A staged photo could be authentically a photo, and not an AI mashup, or product of darkroom chicanery. But a staged photo is not necessarily an authentic representation of actual events.
Example: a publicity shot from the movie "tombstone" would be a perfectly authentic photo of the actors and set, but not an authentic photo of the Earps and Doc Holliday.

Under 10K new, less used. I'm leaning towards a 300cc or 500cc bike since that can do short sprints on the freeways when there's no other option. The rest of the time will be secondary roads and dirt roads. Dirt roads in New Mexico can be utter sand pits or can be paved with bone jarring rocks. 10 mph is a good top speed on those so lightness and maneuverability is a key aspect. The secondary paved roads you have to be able to do 65 mph. The reality is there's so little traffic in rural New Mexico you could do 40 mph all day long and not be a problem. Basically I'm looking for a souped-up Trail 125 cuz that's how I roll.

But you would think there would be a record of that in some archive.
And the background is very detailed and seems to be authentic period.

The instances of AWFLs resisting instructions from traffic cops, screaming and freaking out, seem to be proliferating. Besides the one protesting The Latest Thang. They seem intoxicated, high on indignation and self-righteousness. Just mind-boggling entitled mentality. But, yes, usually entertaining.

My friend is going nuts with home insurance on Staten Island. Ever since Hurricane Sandy in 2012, her rates have gone through the roof, after having to have the roof replaced. She was concerned then about the snow in the attic.

One more home insurance gripe. You're covered for a hurricane but if there are storm surge floodwaters, you're not covered for the flooding. Make that make sense.

I've seen two theories to explain this, and they probably run together.
The first is they've gotten away with such nonsense for far too long. It's the old story: Somebody breaks the law. Nobody enforces it, so no big deal. You continue breaking the law and someone does enforce it, they are now a fascist.
The other is legal pharmacology, overmedication.

Cryptocurrency needs data centers because their value is continuously being computed, or some such nonsense.
AI needs data centers because Large Learning Models are restricted by only "knowing" those things to which they have been exposed ... and they are retarded ... but if we blow a few more gazillion computations on them Lo! they'll surpass Einstein in their knowledge and wisdom.

Yep. Insurance is a *bad word* to me. They take and they take, year after year, "Lawd, they was lovey-dovey" until you have a claim.
Then it's a battle. And if you don't get cancelled, you sure as hell pay them back (double or more) in increased premiums afterward. Such a fking racket.

My boss's nickname was "Kim Jong-il" (female Korean American, married to an Antifa goon boy, and had a taste for sadism).
Being retired (three weeks now) is wee-urd. I thought it would be like being on extended vacation until the Lord calls me home -- but I feel adrift. It has also crossed my mind that my moneyman's telling me I have plenty of money to go the rest of the way, "even if you need a nursing home at some point" means that my expiration date is coming in a few years, and that's a sobering thought.
Health, apart from needing to shed the weight I gained after refugeeing south from NYC, is pretty good.
Sleep has been all over the map. Falling asleep in the Lazy Boy recliner, with Youtoob videos on autoplay; waking up at 5 am and pondering whether going back to bed counts as a nap.
I feel like I got off of a Hellship, but as it has gone hull-down over the horizon, and the voices on board are fainter and fainter, I'm adrift in a little sloop on the ocean, with no destination in mind....

Secondary products from the data centers may be as or more beneficial than the actual data. Right now they are set to produce their own energy. Bezos is going for one full size and four modular (can't think of the name) nuclear reactors, Five are on the books in Texas. They are firing up 3 mile island and one in Illinois. Nvidia is going nuclear, so are the rest of them. One of them is doing fission.

Nuclear has backing from Washington along with wizkids brains, money and competitive drive building a safe, cheap and powerful reactors will be the norm. Energy will be cheap. Green Peas can stuffit.

Part time job, volunteer, learn a new skill. Whatever you choose to do, do it with a sense of adventure and no pressure. Create a schedule for yourself even if it seems mundane. The last 10 years of my professional career I was self-employed. Basically all I did was work. I retired early because I realized I was just a boarder in my own house and my wife and 15 year old son were strangers. I took a job as a school custodian. Most enjoyable 6 years of my working life. Don't pressure yourself and don't be in a hurry.

I was an all lines insurance claims manager for over 30 years. Casualty insurance companies pay out more in claims than the premium they take in . They make their money by investing the premiums. In my experience , first party claims are handled by giving the policyholder the benefit of the doubt on questionable claims. I’ve always said everyone should sit at an insurance claims desk for six months. Their perception of insurance claims handling would completely change.

Dang...all of this makes my wonky stuff hopefully just that. Or, as we know it in our house, "incidental findings." My husband is king of those.
I had my little syncope performance but don't think it's heart or brain related (we all know I lack the latter). I just pass out every 4yrs or so if I rush in the early am, don't hydrate, and don't sleep because I need to get up to rush.
Good thing this was not a problem when I was working and waking and rushing for decades. 4yrs ago the ED doc, after a bunch of tests, told me she had it. That when I feel it coming on to lie down with feet above my heart a bit, and tense all muscles.
I ignored the warnings & passed out instead, and knew better. EMT's said all normal. I said no to another ED visit. PA said I had to have an echo and holter and here I am seeing a cardiology PA in a week. I hope to be left alone for six months. Lose wt and behave for once in my life.

His last show, he revealed what he did after retiring as a cop.
He became a school bus driver.

I knew she was a MILF before that term was even invented.
Weird thing was, she was Jack Webb's ex-wife, and the guy who played Dr. Early was her new husband.
Apparently the split was amicable, given that he hired them for one of his shows.

Couple of years ago the boy borrowed my car, ran a red light in front of a cop, about 20 mph over the limit.
He lost his license, and State Farm cancelled our car insurance. So I told them to fuck off with the homeowners as well. They made plenty of money off my for years, and they just decided we were too much of a risk over a one-time bad choice by a teenager.
Insurance has always been a racket, but that took the cake.

Insurance. A number of insurance companies have bailed out of my area, v citing wildfire risk. No discrimination, they just cancelled out. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not run by.mathematicians, who they hire to set their baseline profits. They're run by people who get themselves into these positions because they wanna be rich, so they start nibbling at the edges. Like Vegas casinos adding double and even triple zero to the roulette wheel, having the odds in their favor isn't good enough. They want more.

A large tree fell at Dad's house but thankfully didn't hit the house or garage. Just brushed & destroyed the gutter, so it will need to be replaced. I can do that.
Tree service removed the fallen fir. Total cost was less than insurance deductible, so no claim.

No shit man. You can't trust anything anymore. I was doing a wiring harness today on a 1956 panhead. Its a restore, so I'm doing the harness from scratch with the old cloth covered wire and asphalt loom. I was searching for bikes with wiring pics to check my routing of one of the looms. I found one pic of a supposed survivor and I wasn't even sure I could trust it because one wire color was wrong. Normally before fucking AI I would say eh, its harley, probably ran out and used this this color instead. Now I had to really look to see if it wasn't some bullshit picture. I'm pretty sure it was legit because of a few little details I saw that AI wouldn't know, but the fact that I had to question it blows ass.

At some point the transfer of the momentum, with high enough mass and velocity, no matter how well distributed on the target with perfect body armor, will kill just by sudden impulse of the target. The only ways to protect against that is to greatly expand the time range of transference, like with a giant loonytoon bouncy spring or redirect the projectile in a way that imparts a small fraction of the momentum to the target.

This where conservation of momentum comes into play -
Weight of man at rest + weight of cannonball x speed1 (say 1000 fps) = man + cannonball going downrange at say 900 fps... But the forces of near instant acceleration would leave most man bits going laterally outward.

During the Battle of Mobile Bay, the Confederate ironclad (the Tennessee, I think) took so many hits that the doors to the gunports jammed shut (you closed them after each shot for obvious reasons). Two crewmen tried to jimmy them open and a shot hit the doors as they were pressed up against it. The doors held against the shot, but both men were killed instantly and their remains were shoveled into a bucket.

Harlan Ellison wrote that one. I remember before I was online, I had always thought that was one of the best TOS episodes of all, but I never heard people talk about it.
Later when online polls became a thing, turned out that that one and Tribbles are regarded as the two best TOS episodes of all. (Balance of Terror is a close third)
And amazing that with just one not so big part in one episode, Joan Collin’s became one of the most memorable guest stars that Original Trek ever had on.

lol that reminds of the movie “Enemy Mine” with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gosset Jr. After they thought filming was finished they showed it to the studio execs; but they said “where’s the mine?” Director and writer said “no that’s a literary phrase” but the execs said “No, you gotta put a mine in it or you’ll confuse people.” (Only people as dumb as them)
So the climax of the film became a big fight in an enemy mine. The execs insisted.

Iran. Venezuela is an American protectorate and Trump will force the regime to distribute food and provide access to medicine, etc. He has them by the throat and they know it.
China will go next because oil will be critically short with Iran offline and Venezuela out of reach. Hard to move troops around without gas.
One of the China vids I watch is saying that rebel group names are being floated around, like "Provisional Republic" and stuff.

He always struck me as a guy who didn't much like other people. It was easy to get on his bad side and nearly impossible to get back on his good side when that happened.

They invented gunpowder, too. Their military tech in particular stagnated because the combination of Manchu horse archers and Han infantry was impossible for any of the neighbors to beat. So they got lazy.
They were able to build Gewehr 88 rifles (using German tooling) by the 1890s. I have a Mauser 98k built in 1945 and it was so well made as to be parts compatible with German weapons.

Their industrial buildup is marred by indifferent quality control. You never know what you're going to get and there are rumors that there are two grades of equipment - those used for testing and QC, and the shitty stuff they give to the troops.
And classic Chinese miscalculation - they're spending like crazy building aircraft carriers they don't need while their people are going hungry and getting sick. No housing, rampant unemployment NO SAFETY NET, and so yeah, people are getting pissed.

No F-14 will fly. Engines and electronics are maintenance intensive. Plus, old air-frames.

There are a few Youtube channels that are helpful, scour Chinese-language internet and have sources on the inside.
The Chinese video everything, and there's a certain "catch me if you can" attitude about uploading stuff.
Latest rumors have it that what looked like a horrific traffic accident in a tunnel was actually and assassination attempt, though the target is unclear. It's possible our spooks are playing with the Chicoms by spinning elaborate stories of double agents with Maduro, hoping Xi goes full paranoid and starts whacking ALL the commanders, leaving the PLA helpless.
Interesting times.

I don't know how much to believe anymore about all those Covid reports from China circa 2020. The sick people laying down en masse in the street outside hospitals, welding shut of apartment building doors, reports of large plumes from crematoria, etc. I took it at face value at the time, but now I wonder how much it was staged, a psy op.

They were still using muzzle loading stave cannon during the Boxer rebellion. The English stopped using stave cannon and moved to cast iron in the late 1600's
To learn western technology they had understand western science which required accepting western cosmology, which many in the Imperial court were unwilling to do -- much of the pretext of the Imperial system was based on theories that the world was unchanging unless it was in its nature to change. That was underscored by the possible loss of status in a new shifting world.
The Europeans did not have that luxury, since they spent their time cutting each others' throats.

CIA is kind of its own thing, and remember that Obama's people burned all their Chinese agents. The whole network was rolled up and the media yawned.
So while the DC types may hate Trump, the guys in the field may hate China even more. That's outside of my lane, so I'm not sure what is going on, but one doesn't even need CIA to do what Trump's people are doing spreading rumors of spies and such.

1. The eastern half of the country, including Kiev, is pretty much without electricity, water, and heat. The supermarkets are starting to close, too. This makes partying with the hookers in the discos somewhat problematic for the draft dodgers and war profiteers.
2. Both sides are hitting shipping in the Black Sea with drones. This will have an impact on the economies of nations which are not directly involved in the war.
3. On the ground, the Russians continue to slowly grind forward in numerous locations, with the Ukrainians managing to make a limited number of counter attacks.

Both countries have lost a generation of men.

By the time Europeans arrived in force, the Ch'ing had subdued every external enemy. Why spend money on weapons you don't need. Horse archers and matchlocks were sufficient. All branches atrophied. Since military service has zero status in the Confucian hierarchy, troops were just bandits in uniform, and giving them top-notch weaponry was an invitation to disorder.
Honestly, you can accuse the CCP of making the opposite mistake: China has no bordering threats. No neighbor can or wants to threaten her. So why waste a small fortune on armaments you don't need when your people desperately still need internal improvements? Why not provide free public schools, unemployment insurance, free clinics?

It's a Chinese thing. They don't understand foreigners, don't want to understand them, and the Son of Heaven is now bound by the laws of men.
Seriously. They broke all their treaties because they didn't consider any of them binding. They'd sign, get the Europeans to leave, and then just keep doing what the were doing. The idea of honoring an agreement with foreigners was...foreign.
The CCP turned that up to 11, because Communists Always Lie. So they quote international law while violating it. They talk about green energy while making their own air unbreatheable. And so on. China is asshoe.

This was outside the scope of the book (and to be honest, a lot of the information only became recently available), but China's small arms are a fascinating subject. Just to review: when Europeans started kicking their asses, China needed to upgrade and turned to...Germany. It made sense. Germany had few concessions but wanted to screw the British and the French, so giving China modern weapons was one way to do it.
I mentioned the Gw 88 (aka Hanyang Rifle), but I kind of glossed over the fact that in 1935, Germany sent a full slate of advisors and technical experts to help Chiang Kai-shek kill the Reds. Fully 10 divisions of infantry were fully equipped with German helmets and web gear, and China got the tooling to make Kar 98k rifles, which were of excellent quality. These troops crushed Mao's goons and the Long March would have been pointless if Japan hadn't invaded when they did in 1937. The Germans had a treaty with Japan, and pulled out, only to be replaced by... the Soviets!

Quick Hits
Dr. Oz, head of Medicare and Medicaid, reports we're beingreipped off to the tune of billions:
DrOzCMSUS orders partial evacuation of military personnel at Qatar military base.
@DrOzCMS UPDATE: It's worse than we thought.
In October, we flagged $1.3 billion in Medicaid funds that 6 states may have unlawfully spent on health care for illegal immigrants.
Since then, we’ve gathered more data and the total has grown to over $1.8 billion across 8 states.
It's against the law to spend federal Medicaid funds on non-emergency healthcare for illegals. If states use their own money to do it, there needs to be a clear paper trail proving that federal dollars didn’t fund those services.
These states failed to provide that for this $1.8 billion. So today, CMS is announcing that we're withholding nearly $300 million from California -- which is by far the worst offender -- until they demonstrate to our satisfaction that they’re spending that money properly.
Medicaid dollars belong to Americans, not illegal immigrants, and we won’t stop until we’ve held rogue states accountable and recovered their misspent funds.
More announcements to come.
The United States military has ordered some personnel to evacuate the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar amid ongoing demonstrations in Iran and President Donald Trump's suggestion of possible military action, the Associated Press reported, citing "a U.S. official." Al Udeid previously came under Iranian fire in the wake of U.S. strikes on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program last year. The scope of the evacuation remains unclear.Does that mean the strikes are coming? I don't know. Trump announced that he had it on "good authority" that Iran had stopped massacring its people, which sounds like a possible off-ramp to a strike.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he was told by Iran that the killings of protesters will stop and that there are no plans for further executions. Iran has reportedly killed at least 2,000 anti-regime protesters so far as demonstrations engulf the Middle Eastern country. Some foreign leaders have predicted that Iran's regime is in its final days. Trump said his information was coming from "very important sources on the other side," and that executions, including one of an Iranian shopkeeper, are not expected to take place, despite a notice to the shopkeeper's family indicating otherwise. "We were told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and there's no plan for executions," Trump told reporters. "The killing has stopped. The executions have stopped. There's no plan for executions or an execution. I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about it. I'm sure if it happens I'll be very upset."

I suppose anything is possible, though that seems like the least likely of circumstances.
Of course, having said that, the next news to the contrary, gives Trump the opportunity to say they'd lied to him, so talk is off the table (so a delaying tactic as our guys weren't quite in place yet.) Or it could be a misdirection like the "within two weeks" timeline for the strike on their nuclear facilities.

I suppose that we can assume at this point that any civilians caught by security forces in hospitals, or taken off to jail, have been killed. Unless a mob killed the security first.

Just saw someone say the USS Abraham Lincoln is likely headed to the Middle East, but it will take a week for it to get there. An analysis was two options.
We wait until the Lincoln gets there to commence operations.
Other one, we start now, and then Lincoln gets there for sustained operations in Iran. Says this is the most likely.
And reports of fighter jets all over Eastern Iraq and over Syria as well as Northern Israel. Also, reports of big movements of Israeli Iron Dome equipment being moved around to position for an attack.

Moves suggest sustained air operations, not a one-and-done strike.

2) Iranian people win, that means the U.S, wins as well. Same as above.
3) Ayatollah's win, U.S. and Iranian people lose. I think trump will prevent that, and step in to get outcome 1 or 2 instead.

Nope. What will happen is they will give a single warning. If you fail to immediately obey, then they bust your windows and drag your silly ass out of the car to be arrested. They take your car to the impound lot. No excuses.
Confiscate the car or have the impound lot impose huge daily storage fees.
Cost these people thousands per incident. Make this a very expensive and time-consuming tactic for them, with the possibility of getting shot. Sure, the local judge will let them off - but the tow fees and impound costs will be several thousand bucks. And sure, Soros will pay that, but my guess is the feds have more money than Soros - bleed their cash. Make this type of protest VERY expensive for them.

Trump Stops the Issuance of Visas to Migrants from 75 Welfare-Sucking Countries
MXM:
Department of State
@StateDept The State Department will pause immigrant visa processing from 75 countries whose migrants take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates. The freeze will remain active until the U.S. can ensure that new immigrants will not extract wealth from the American people. The pause impacts dozens of countries -- including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea -- whose immigrants often become public charges on the United States upon arrival. We are working to ensure the generosity of the American people will no longer be abused.
President Trump's State Department moved Wednesday to halt immigrant visa processing from 75 countries after internal data showed migrants from those nations are entering the United States and enrolling in taxpayer-funded welfare programs at what officials described as unacceptable rates. The decision, announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, places an immediate pause on visa approvals until the U.S. can verify that future immigrants will be financially self-sufficient rather than dependent on public assistance. In a formal statement, the United States Department of State said the freeze is intended to prevent additional strain on American taxpayers and ensure the country's immigration system no longer rewards welfare dependence, stressing that the administration's priority is protecting American workers and public resources. The pause affects dozens of countries identified by the department as consistently producing high numbers of migrants who become public charges shortly after arrival, including Somalia, Haiti, Iran, and Eritrea, with officials emphasizing that the policy will remain in place until safeguards are in place to stop what they view as systemic abuse of U.S. generosity.

House just passed such a bill under reconciliation guidelines that eliminated any federal funds for illegals. Now it is the Senate's turn. And fwiw, Senate can use reconciliation to pass a minibus for the remaining spending bills as the shutdown looms at the end of the month. Dems want to defund DHS and enforcement for deportations now and DHS funding bill is one of those moving through the Senate.

That means, even if you don't think illegal entry is a crime, you still support 10s of thousands of violent and dangerous people coming in and running loose in every city.

And yet they are failing by the day. Resolute leadership beats craven theft and trying to manipulate. What Cloward and Piven never got is that there is NO historical determinism, what one group wreaks, another can fix. And usually the result is the group that damaged the place becomes tainted and loathed by those fixing up the place.
Marx and his attempt at declaring the inevitably of his process was absolutely wrong. History does not work that way until the Lord comes back for the second time.

You know it was amusing when the left finally figured out human beings pay taxes when Trump passed his tariffs.
Apparently now they are finding out cops will arrest you...even at home!...if you break the law.
They should really thank Trump for teaching them all these things

1. We the People of the sovereign US have a border and a right to enforce it.
2. We passed laws to do just that in our duly elected Legislatures.
3. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (don't just call it "ICE" which is lefty demonization) is the lawful, and only way to do that.
4. The American people also just voted for this.
5. Those "obstructing" enforcement are breaking the law, and the social-political compact to abide by the results of our elections.
6. The leaders of "Open Borders" believe we live on "stolen land" and therefore have no right to our own border.
7. Call on Chucky Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries all Dem governors to say, clearly, that we do NOT live on "stolen land" and we HAVE the right to enforce our border. If they can't or won't, let the American people recognize them for the America haters they are.

There has been a leak of Trump's private medical information, and Bobby, Jr confirmed. POTUS has some very abnormal test results.
His testosterone is way off the charts. I mean it's higher than any doctor has likely ever seen before. I mean, he's got T like you wouldn't believe. YUGE T, man.
Seriously, RFK, Jr. said that..... Now, watch the AWFLs heads explode.

As long as we understand that Winning does not include arresting and prosecuting the criminals and because of the feckless retards in Congress, will be instantly reversed once Trump leaves office because nothing will be codified.

At some point, long ago, our political betters discovered how to take your tax dollars and run massive fraud schemes to line their own pockets.
It is, without a doubt, the largest theft of wealth in the world. Trillions of dollars. Over decades.
If you ever paid taxes, you were 100% ripped off. Each and every time you wrote that check to the IRS. And I'm not even going into all the other scams the politicos were running.
That there are not 525 bodies hanging from lamp-posts in the Capitol City is the real, undeniable crime here.

Interestingly, at the time that statement was issued, he had no case in front of him. It was just a message that the IRG would not be prosecuted for outright murder of protesters.

The Islamist United Kingdom Bans Scalding Hot Commentator Eva Vlaadingerbroek From Entering the Country Even As It Welcomes a Radical Hamas-Supporting Muslim Hate Cultist
Queer Starmer has ended free speech in the UK.
Meanwhile, Queer Starmer is blocking an effort to outlaw first cousin-marriage in the UK -- which didn't previously need to be outlawed, because the actual British population long ago stopped doing it -- to appease his last bastion of diehard supporters, Muslim migrants.
Journalist and political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek says the UK government has revoked her authorization to travel to Britain, citing that her presence is "not considered to be conducive to the public good," a move she says followed days after she slammed Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his government's approach to online speech. Vlaardingerbroek shared an image of a notice from the UK government stating that her Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) had been cancelled effective January 13, 2026. The notice states that she may not travel to the UK without a visa and that the decision cannot be appealed. "Holy sh*t. I've been banned from traveling to the UK. They revoked my ETA," Vlaardingerbroek wrote on X. Quoting the notice, she added, "Your presence in the UK is not considered to be [conducive] to the public good." In a follow-up, Vlaardingerbroek said, "No reason given. No right to appeal. Zero due process. Just an email saying the UK government deems me 'not conducive to the public good' - exactly three days after I criticized Keir Starmer. I guess my point that the UK is no longer a free country has been indisputably proven."
. In the UK, 4% of infant deaths are caused by birth defects stemming from first-cousin marriages--about three times the rate of deaths from substance abuse.Despite the obvious health issues associated with the practice, the National Health Service, as a sign of support for the Muslim community, published a report on the benefits of first-cousin marriages. I kid you not. The NHS has been urged to apologise for publishing an article extolling the benefits of first-cousin marriage despite the increased risk of birth defects. The article published last week by the NHS England's Genomics Education Programme says first-cousin marriage is linked to "stronger extended family support systems and economic advantages". But the practice has also been linked to oppression of women and also has a proven increased risk of genetic disease in offspring of first-cousin relationships. Richard Holden, the Tory MP, told the Mail On Sunday: "Our NHS should stop taking the knee to damaging and oppressive cultural practices. "The Conservatives want to see an end to cousin marriage as a backdoor to immigration too, but Labour are deaf to these sensible demands. "Sir Keir Starmer should stop running scared of the misogynistic community controllers and their quislings who appear in the form of cultural relativist-obsessed sociology professors, and ban a practice the overwhelming majority, from every community in Britain, want to see ended for good."Yes, you read that right. The NHS admits that first-cousin marriage is terrible for health, but should be praised because it is good for "extended family support and economic advantages." I guess that is why the British Muslim community is so culturally healthy. Can we get a similar explanation for why child marriage is good for the economic viability of the families who sell their daughters to wealthy men?
Linda Duberley
@LindaDuberley This is the last straw. I have seen first hand the catastrophic disabilities caused by first cousin marriage - on one occasion a young girl permanently fed by a nasal-gastric tube and unable even to use a wheelchair - one of two children with birth defects born to the same mother. @Keir_Starmer should be ashamed of himself that he would rather allow this terrible situation to continue than challenge those Labour MPs of whom he is afraid
Christine Hardman
@Christi44330266 Jan 12 Absolutely. He should visit some of the paediatric palliative care homes for these children. They are heartbreaking. Setting aside the funds needed. The children have problems beyond the imaginable. I have a friend who worked for the social services transport services taking disabled children to 'school' and she picked up 3 from the same family all in wheelchairs

Seems to me Eva has a golden opportunity here. The UK Government states unequivocally that "her presence is not considered conductive to the public good."
That could, conceivably, be defamatory/ slander. And the burden in the UK on Defamation is not as high a hurdle as it is in the US. The burden first falls to the party who claims to be wronged. She merely has to show the statement to be defamatory, then show damages. As she would likely have been working on her trip to the UK, damages are easy. And, "not conductive for the public good" is a subjective assessment easily countered. Then the burden falls to the accused. The UK Government would have to defend their statement and the only way to do that is to admit it is censorship of ideas with which they don't agree.
She should sue, out of principle.

Unless I’m copying and pasting, she’s just “Eva V.” And often even if I am copying and pasting, because that’s a name I don’t trust other people to get right. Except maybe her. And only maybe. I’ve known people have trouble spelling their own name who have simpler names than that.
FYI, no guarantees, but she has been in the past a guest on the Mark Steyn Cruise. No Kristols allowed.

They didn't. In the last election, only 33.7% of the votes went for Labour, which was only about 20% of total voters.
Because the Tories, and Reform, and the Lib Dems split all the rest, Labour took 63% of the seats in Parliament, and can run the country like a dictatorship.
and now you know why England's Parliamentary system sucks balls.

Doesn't work that way in a parliamentary system.
Literally no Briton voted for this knob, other than the ones in his own heavily gerrymandered seat.
What happens is you vote for "your" Member of Parliament (i.e., whichever one the party hacks have decided to run for your district). Then all of these party hack-chosen hacks get together and decide which party hack is Prime Minister.
The voters get zero say in this.
Not only that, but most parties in these systems require that you pay money to belong to them.
But somehow our system is "undemocratic".
You bet, snaggletooths.

Britain was also withdrawing some personnel from an air base in Qatar ahead of possible U.S. strikes, the newspaper reported. The British defence ministry had no immediate comment.
"All the signals are that a U.S. attack is imminent, but that is also how this administration behaves to keep everyone on their toes. Unpredictability is part of the strategy," a Western military official told Reuters later on Wednesday.
Two European officials said U.S. military intervention could come in the next 24 hours. An Israeli official also said it appeared Trump had decided to intervene, though the scope and timing remained unclear.
Qatar said drawdowns from its Al Udeid air base, the biggest U.S. base in the Middle East, were "being undertaken in response to the current regional tensions".
Three diplomats said some personnel had been told to leave the base, though there were no immediate signs of large numbers of troops being bussed out . . . ."

- arrests over 12k of its people a year for what they say
- makes it illegal to own an unregistered TV or radio
- wants to ban X and all other social media platforms
- wants to ban any encrypted communication app
- has banned all handguns, most rifles and shotguns, also has a knife ban
- has admitted government officials are running rape gangs against the people; no arrests
If you didn't already know that was England, you'd guess it was a totalitarian state like North Korea.

Jerry Pournelle's website, Chaos Manor is still up last I checked although he died several years ago.
He termed the US as an incompetent empire back decades ago and as a former poli sci prof at Pepperdine, explained in laymens' terms of what he meant by that. Well worth checking out and I think you can pull up his columns discussing that by search engine.

Can't really say that when Labor won a landslide with 33 percent of the vote which is near a historical low for them in recent era. That means 67 percent of the vote chose someone other than Labor. Reform plus Conservatives had 38 percent but a lot fewer seats. Lib Dems had 12.2. And turnout was low at 60 percent of registered voters.
This is why the GOPe has been able to hang in there, the Democrats are crazy while teh GOPe is corrupt. If Trump had started a new party, likely 2024 would have had the same consequences--Democrat supermajority. So we have to go election by election to weed out the traitors and replace the new quislings as well like MTG that suddenly get strange new respect from the left.

There was some bit from a TV show ("The Newsroom") about 13-14 years ago where Jeff Daniels' character has a lamer version of the "I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Going to Take it Anymore" speech from "Network" and he says all these countries including Canada, the UK, France...all "have freedom". This was his evidence that the US sucks, as these other countries have "freedom" but the US is only 7th in literacy..so on and so forth.

"I posted an all-too-brief item on Instapundit earlier today about Prime Minister Keir Starmer's actions to "turn your smartphone into a government surveillance device," as the Telegraph's Zia Yusuf put it, but a topic this important deserves the full VodkaPundit Treatment™.
Calling it "the terrifying endpoint" of Britain's Online Safety Act (OSA), Starmer's Labour government will finalize guidance in April of this year on deploying "'accredited technology' for scanning messages sent with end-to-end encryption."
What that means in practice is, London's Office of Communications (Ofcom) will mandate on-device software able to read everybody's "private" messages in real-time, and scan their images, too, before any personal encryption tools come into play."

It is a solution to a problem of a society that does not work together and instead is made up of hostile tribes. Which was the case in Islam in the 600s, and much of the world in fairness.
In theory in 2026 of course that is no longer true. A Smith can marry a Jones without worrying about politics and family wealth because western societies are at peace and most people believe that each generation will create more wealth anyway so you don't need to horde the wealth your family got by raiding a neighbor a generation ago...
But Islam hasn't moved beyond this.

But dumbass Sorkin wrote that about a decade after the Canadian court specifically told Mark Steyn that free speech was a "Yank idea". (So Steyn did not have free speech in Canada).

TSA Agents Tracked $136 Million Being Taken Out of the Country Through Ohio Airports
Plus: Iran Directly Threatens to Assassinate Trump
From Minnesota to Ohio to Amsterdam to Dubai.
Somali Suitcase Stash: Feds say $130 million moved from Ohio airport to Minnesota on way overseas Officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration agents tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023. This follows reports that millions of dollars were discovered leaving Minnesota airports.Unrelated: Iran state TV to Trump: "This time, the bullet won't miss."
By John Solomon Published: January 13, 2026 11:00pm Federal agents investigating a Somali immigrant operation that moved massive amounts of cash in suitcases from the Minneapolis airport to overseas have uncovered a new leg of the courier journey: the Columbus, Ohio airport. Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023. The cash movements were made by U.S. citizens of Somali origin who flew out of the Columbus airport en route to either the airports in Minneapolis or Atlanta, and the couriers always declared the cash as legally required on documents, officials said. "Typically, when they go to Minneapolis, they drop off the cash and then a subsequent courier travels abroad from Minneapolis to Dubai through Amsterdam," one official familiar with the investigation told Just the News on Tuesday, speaking only on condition of anonymity. The officials said they appear to have uncovered a massive cash movement operation that gathered money from multiple Somali immigrant communities in the West, Midwest and South that eventually brought luggage filled with currency to Minneapolis for flights overseas. Just the News reported exclusively last week that TSA detected nearly $700 million in cash in luggage leaving the Minneapolis airport in 2024 and 2025, frequently headed on a route to Amsterdam and then Dubai where U.S. officials lost the tracking. The TSA agents routinely alerted investigators during the Biden years, but there was little interest in probing the money movements further until President Donald Trump took office last year.
Iran issued a sickening threat against President Trump Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander in chief during the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt -- with the words "This time it will not miss the target." The ominous warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported. It marks Tehran's most direct threat yet against Trump, following his repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters. Iran appeared to step up threats against Trump by broadcasting a photo of him during the Butler assassination attempt. The image of a bloodied-Trump appeared to be taken from a pro-government rally in Iran, which has been allowed to air despite nationwide blackouts over the protests against the regime. Trump was infamously the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when he was shot in the ear by gunman Thomas Crooks.

Think of her as Hillary!...I'll wait...There! You see.
I look at Hillary! and see an unpleasant, angry, antisocial, mentally unstable, drunken harpy.
Democrats see a great and good woman of nearly goddess-like ability destined to lead our country and who should've won if not for the perfidy of the Orange Horror Trump!!!!

First Lady lost her father on Sunday. We found out Monday when he wasn't answering his cell phone and did not call back. He lives 3 hrs. away from us, so we reached out to some friends and they did a wellness check.
We drove out Monday night and spent the last two days finalizing arrangements, writing the obit and eulogy and getting people notified. The services will be on Saturday and that's likely where she'll get hit the hardest.
He wasn't a good father, was incredibly selfish and lived mostly for one person and one person only. But she is strong in her faith and took 'honor thy mother, honor thy father' seriously and did what she felt was best. There are no regrets.
We're at home now, heading back Friday as there's some things here she wants to find before everything is finalized.
You all have been so wonderful to us over the last year plus, so I just wanted to pop in, give an update and thank you all for the thoughts and prayers you've been providing us for a long time.
God Bless you and we are eternally grateful for everything.

They're expatriating laundered/fraudulent money. No, it's not illegal to carry or fly with cash, but it rightfully raises red flags. That's why you have to declare it, so they know about it and can investigate if necessary.
Regardless, if you are moving around with dirty money and don't want to raise questions, you would take as few flights as possible. Based on this article's reporting, it seems these scumbags were doing the opposite.

Lots of Somalis got dumped in Columbus too and started doing what they do. Probably sent to Minnesota first to consolidate and fly out on one flight.

I can't say what I want to say without getting banned. I don't want violence in our streets n civil war. I have kids, I don't want them to live through that and experience horror. However the left is bound and determined to do just that AND they want my kids, who were finally old enough to vote in 24' dead.
As a father and I have a REALf'ing problem with it and am sick n f'ing tired of the lefts BS. I've lived a blessed life, I have cool toys and have done some cool thing I can be proud of. I've lived my life. If I croak right now at least I had a good run.
Any human decency, civility or whatever you want to call it in my case towards the left is gone. It was shot in the neck last September. I'm still horrified by it. Rob Reiner dead could care less, good riddance to evil. This loopy broad in Minneapolis, good riddance to evil.
I want to see these people suffer immensely and if I could do anything to help facilitate that I absolutely would.

I was on one of the first flights out of Logan after 9/11 and you can imagine what a goat rodeo that was since it was the site where the WTC took off from. They had no idea what they were doing at the point so they were taking everything.
They had those big, grey, plastic garbage cans by every TSA station and they were just filling them up with nail clipper, books of matches, tweezers, disposable lighter... you name it, it was going in the bucket.

I assume the money went from MN to OH (although I'm not sure why) en route to an international flight. But the article says the flights went from Ohio to Minneapolis and then to Amsterdam/Dubai.
The same shit was going on in Ohio with their Somalis. I doubt Columbus has international connecting flights but MSP does.

This is why I think the republic has to take drastic action to destroy government corruption on a large scale. The GOP and Dems are literally selling themselves to foreign interests and no government can survive that long term.
Proscription is about the remaining remedy and that probably means the end of the republic. Trump is not probably the guy to do that in all honesty. He is a counterpuncher.
Whoever would order a proscription type order has to be someone as tough as Sulla, Cromwell, Pinochet, Franco, or Caesar.

They're expatriating laundered/fraudulent money. No, it's not illegal to carry or fly with cash, but it rightfully raises red flags. That's why you have to declare it, so they know about it and can investigate if necessary.
Regardless, if you are moving around with dirty money and don't want to raise questions, you would take as few flights as possible. Based on this article's reporting, it seems these scumbags were doing the opposite.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 14, 2026 03:06 PM (iFTx/)
-----
Yeah it was obtained fraudulently but it's not "dirty money" like proceeds from drug dealing or prostitution. They got it through "legal" channels directly from the Fed and State governments, because they're a protected and coddled class. There's nothing to launder because as long as the democrats are in charge nobody's going to investigate, and they damn well know it.

Ha-ha. That's a good one. Before 9-11, the gate security at Columbus Airport (before it becase John Glenn International (huh?) Airport) were mostly Somalis.
And Columbus's Airport is NOT an international airport. There are NO international flights out of there. There used to be flights to Canada, but now you have to go through Phillie, Detroit or Chicago. There are international flights out of Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. I think KLM flies out of there.

It's close; there's a problem that few on our side are thinking about, but we do need an actual Casus Belli to launch an offensive strike against Iran. Meaning they have to *do* something to us, to justify it. Before, sayin that they were just about to enrich enough Uranium to create a bomb was enough to justify an attack. But killing their own people is not quite enough; we've got to provoke them into *doing* something really stupid.

I flew once with two metal cigar tubes in a leather sleeve. When they ran it through the luggage detector, it looked exactly like two pipe bombs strapped together. (Of course, I didn't realize that when I brought them.) The TSA guy showed me the image and said "hey, what's this?" I explained what it was. The guy was like "good enough for me." Never opened the luggage or made any effort to determine if I was telling the truth.

But one time a TSA guy did run his hands over my ass....I think he was gay.

Doesn't matter if you pre-declare it, YOU will have a long talk with them. If it's over - based on what I've seen - 35k or so, YOU will almost certainly have it seized, and YOU will not get it back.
I am capitalizing YOU because someone instructed the TSA to look the other way entirely as these shitheads moved stolen money around.
A smattering of agencies won't participate, but generally speaking you get over ~35K and there is nowhere in the US you can safely transport cash as a regular individual. LE is virtually guaranteed to seize it if they catch you with it, and that's not even trying to fly with it or leave the country.

I flew once with two metal cigar tubes in a leather sleeve. When they ran it through the luggage detector, it looked exactly like two pipe bombs strapped together. (Of course, I didn't realize that when I brought them.) The TSA guy showed me the image and said "hey, what's this?" I explained what it was. The guy was like "good enough for me." Never opened the luggage or made any effort to determine if I was telling the truth.

So when the cops found out she had a man at her house they figured they finally had their perp.
But the man that was there was not the drug lord but some other guy. However he responded to the police coming in by shooting at them and they returned fire.
And the Junta charged one of the cops, who remember did not shoot first, Hankison, with killing Taylor...
While he wounded a cop he and they lived, but Breeona died in the crossfire.

In addition to TSA and airport LE being told to look the other way, it's clear the banks were as well.
These are the same banks that looked the other way for 20 years as Epstein moved an average of about 400k a day so this really shouldn't surprise anyone.
To repeat: the republic is dead. Nothing will get fixed until people burn it all down.

Not really. BND and DGSE and MI-6 all are there to facilitate Euro business with the regime. Not to end it. CIA plays both sides of the streets as a toppled Islamic regime in the Middle East with a more secular government gives places like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, the jitters. Only Mossad has shown repeated ability to penetrate even the most secure Iranian assets like their nuke plans or HamAss top leaders. That requires ground human intel assets.

Anyway, said cookies were sealed in a clear plastic clamshell tray. You've probably seen the kind. I put them at the bottom of my checked bag, as they wouldn't fit in my computer bag carry on.
Upon opening my bags at home, I was greeted with a small note advising me that my checked bag was selected for a "random" search, so items may appear disorganized.
The seal of the cookie container was broken. It appeared that the cookies were dumped out over my clothes, then placed back in the container. They made no effort to snap the container shut. Crumbs everywhere. Happened a second time (no cookies, but same friendly note). Avoided Philly airport for many a year after that...

Fincen is no joke as almost all activity, especially illegal, relies on money transfers. And most TSA line officers and managers are not going to avoid the regular procedures in place for cartels, etc. So they documented the bucks being sent but let them go as per higher ups in the agency. Those TSA higher ups got their marching orders from someone too. And those people had to have enough clout to make them ignore it. My bet is Mayorkas or his group of killer clowns.

I honestly think they check people after a certain number to keep machines going or something tarded.
We flew through a small airport and, by golly, my panties appeared radioactive as I was shown the screen. A young black woman asked if I wanted to "go behind a screen." I said, no, have at it. She checked with the back of her wrists, no goosing.
I look for my husband and apparently he was radioactive as well! at the same time! Whee!
We have NO IDEA what that was about, as we certainly were wearing laundered clothing. My watch and silver bracelets I could sort of understand. But this was a new frontier for us. We both thought it was funny vs being offended.

Former McDonald's Worker (?) Kamala Harris Buys $8 Million Graft Mansion
Boy, "civil servants" who supposedly make much less money than they would command in the private sector sure do get filthy rich.
How does that happen?Former Vice President Kamala Harris is upgrading her Los Angeles real estate portfolio, trading one celebrity-soaked neighborhood for another. Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff recently dropped a little over $8 million ($8.15 million) on a 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Point Dume, a neighborhood in Malibu that's home to a who's who of both Hollywood and -- more recently -- Silicon Valley power players, the California Post has learned.Oh right, her woman-beating husband is a lawyer.
Speaking of: Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass promised they would clear the red tape to allow people to rebuild the houses the California government burned down. Barely any houses have been rebuilt.
In recent weeks several Point Dume residents have spotted Emhoff strolling through the neighborhood which rests on a 63-acre promontory perched above one of California's most famous and exclusive beaches known as Little Dume. Access to Little Dume, which boasts one of the most coveted surf breaks in all of California requires a special key that only a select group of Point Dume residents can possess. While much of Malibu remains devastated by the one-two punch of the 2018 Woolsey Fire and the 2025 Palisades Fire, Point Dume is in relatively good shape compared to other parts of Malibu.
Mike KelleyYup, they sure cleared out that red tape... Look at what the government required this property owner to build before he could put down the first beam of his house: Caissons four stories deep! They're also forcing him to build a sea wall to protect against erosion. The sea wall is also required to be built with caissons extending down four to five stories to the bedrock. Clearing out the red tape, requiring citizens to build sea walls to protect the coast one property lot at a time.
@MikeKel25187159 Jan 12 Adam Carolla just revisited Malibu. He found one house being rebuilt. The owner had to spend $2.5 million just for his foundation to meet CA requirements. It looks like a missile silo. Meanwhile, the nearby wooden pier still stands after 120 years.

Access to Little Dume, which boasts one of the most coveted surf breaks in all of California requires a special key that only a select group of Point Dume residents can possess.
Nevermind that all California beaches are in fact, public property by law, and access is supposed to be free to all, either through direct connection to other public land or through access easements across private land.
The rich commie cocksuckers in Malibu have been fighting to appropriate public beaches for their own exclusive use for decades.

The house is literally on the sand of an ocean beach. It's standard construction practice to install caissons going down 40 feet or more when you are building a very significant structure on sand or other unstable surface. The idea is the caissons have to go down all the way to solid rock bed, or else the entire structure will be unstable. How else are you going to build on sand?
And yes, caissons can look like missile silos.

I keep seeing predictions that California is going to collapse, and areas of it will be essentially uninhabitable. I could see that happening. Every the state government spends more, steals more, prevents and interferes more, and provides less actual service.
If true, it's really going to suck. A chaotic exodus, with the state running after the people who leave, to try and take more of their money. And wildfires and crime running rampant and unopposed.

Yea, this is constantly as issue in rich areas like Hamptons. The rich want a private beach, but no beaches are private. The next best thing is to so restrict public access to the beach that it's almost impossible for anyone who doesn't own property on the beach to get on it. There are constant lawsuits over public access to beaches lined with expensive homes.

"Candidates also have an interest in a fair process."
"Win or lose, candidates suffer when the process departs from the law."
"The counting of unlawful votes--or discarding of lawful ones--erodes public confidence in election results and the elected representative."
"Counting first and ruling upon legality afterwards is not a recipe for producing election results that have the
public acceptance democratic stability requires."
"And in much the same way, an unlawful extension of vote counting deprives candidates of the opportunity to compete for election under the Constitution and laws of the United States. "

Granted, when I saw photos before the fire I thought, no way would I want a busy hwy in my backyard...neighbors so close I could reach out and touch them...even for my front yard to be the beach and Pacific Ocean.
It had to be cool to live in Malibu. Once. Maybe when I was in college and a bit wild.
Now, if I had a house where Mel Giblson's was, on a mountain, I'd consider it. Especially if he came with the house (well,and I wasn't already married to my man).

Read the X shit, I think an attack on Iran is imminent. Says our refueling planes are taking off all over the place in the region.
An IDF guy was quoted as saying, "this time, we will end Iran if they attack us".
Iran may pull the "Samson option". Throw everything they have at Israel.

BREAKING: TSA data reveal nearly $700 million in declared US cash flagged in luggage by Somali couriers departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and yet the Biden The White House told TSA to stand down.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Administration (TSA) flagged approximately $692 million ($342.4 million in 2024 and $349.4 million in 2025) in declared U.S. currency detected in passengers' luggage departing from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)—roughly $1 million per day over the two years—John Solomon, the editor-in-chief of Just the News reports.

It really should be clear to all of us by now that inside the US, every single "protest" going back to maybe even the 60's has been organized and paid for by foreign actors and home grown oligarchs. This idea that "protests" are organic and represent popular will is one of the most destructive fantasies that we still cling to.
The only true Protests are the ones that will cause the government to quickly call out the military and police to crush brutally, such as the Canadian truckers during Covid, J6, and the Iranian marchers today. If there is no strong reaction, then it should be obvious that the "protestors" are acting with the approval and authority of at least a good part of the government.
For example, the "protestors" in Minneapolis are acting with the will and the blessing of Minnesota's state government.

This is my point. In all states (AFAIK) by federal law, the land below high tide mark and sea is public.
But CA also has a law (that they, and Huell Howser of California Gold were always very proud of) where public also has to have a way to reach that beach. No private gates. Or so they claim. There were even maps published so you could reach every beach in the state.

I went to the brewing supply store and got malt powder - in this case wheat malt, which has slightly fewer calories than milk gram for gram, but it has a higher glycemic index than whole milk. The carbs are an issue if you go no carbs, that is true.
since I bake bread all the time (and my wife is Korean so rice is obligatory), I don't do low carb.

MN, the retard state.
Saw the arrest of the latest protester making faces on the UK DM. She must practice those faces of horror and fear in the mirror.
I see the nose ring I'd "accidently" rip out as I grabbed her with my thick gloves. This would stop the faces and outrage quickly and ruin her theatrics. She'd then weep or go into mute shock at all the blood pouring out of her slit nostril or septum.

One of my High School friends got his head taken off by a bus mirror while walking down a state road.
Just under 50 years ago I was riding a bicycle when a large pickup truck pulled out and ran over me - dragging me about 30 feet. I tried so hard to get on the hood of that truck, but failed. The happiest I have ever been in my life was when I woke up under that truck. I couldn't believe I was alive. That was the day I quit smoking; I wanted something nice to remember about the day. It took me about a year to recover from my injuries. As a result of that accident I'm going to have to have a hip replacement soon.

[Steve] Robinson and [Liz]Collin appeared together on Tucker Carlson’s show to talk about fraud in their respective states. The similarities can’t be ignored, but the mainstream media appear to be doing just that, according to Robinson.
Robinson told Collin that “when we dug a little further, we discovered that Abdullahi Ali, the CEO [of Gateway Community Services, an LLC that founded by a Somali-American refugee, Abdallahi Ali in Maine], was in fact running for president of Jubaland, Somalia, the semi-autonomous region of southern Somalia. So at the same time, he’s receiving five million a year roughly in MaineCare money, millions of dollars in no-bid contracts, close to $700,000 in a PPP loan, and likely some forms of government money through partnerships and arrangements we don’t even know about or haven’t discovered yet.”

The biggest reason Kharg is off limits is that China gets a lot of its oil from that source. If anyone hits it or cuts off the flow, that brings China and it's army into the fight, and Nobody on any side wants that.
At the end of the last 12 day war a few weeks ago, Iran itself threatened to shut down the straits of Hormuz, which was always supposed to be their big "trump" card to play. China sent out a very short message, simple and to the point - "Don't do it, or we're going to have to come over there."

If you start a keto diet and you go zero carbs (I usually totally fast the first week) -- you should only do that for 2 weeks as longer can damage your kidneys.
Then you stick with low carb, and you can still remain in ketosis and drop the poundage ...

My settlement was that the VA bandaged me up. While I was recovering the apartment manager who was stealing my rent, had me evicted from my apartment. I limped the five miles to the court room to try to fight the eviction, but got there just after the court closed. I then limped the five miles back to my apartment. I stopped at a convenience store to get some food, and a high school team mate from football and wrestling saw me. He and his wife took me in for a year while I recovered. There is no way to pay that back, so I paid it forward by taking in my dying friend for the past two years when he got too sick to work.

Oatmeal can keep the baked loaf moister longer, but if you use too much it will affect the texture.
Another way to keep the bread fresh longer is to add sugar, which will hold moisture in the bread longer, so it is not stale textured.

He knows a lot, but he makes a lot of errors. OK, maybe not errors, but he does that too, but he isinaccurate and incomplete in a lot of things. The last video I saw he was explaining concrete form tech and made such a hash of it, it was embarrassing.
The caissons are really just another word for concrete piles -- they are piles. (And logically, they are NOT caissons even though they call them that.) And pile foundations are mostly friction piles where they do not reach bedrock, they only go down deep enough that the soil supports the load. (coastal construction is different, but he drew a mountain in that one shot.)
And Venice is built on wood piles -- they can last forever if done right. Creosote is wood tar -- it is the gook that comes off of burnt wood without enough O2, like wood turpentine, and is kind of natural even though enviros hate it.
Just little things like that the make me annoyed. But mostly he is informative I guess.

You can lose weight - burn fat - eating nothing but candy bars, if you want. Pure carbs.
I would not recommend that. Caloric restriction however has always been, and remains the only way to lose weight. Carbs taste good. I know people like to talk about what won’t work in theory, but in the real world you’ll discover life without carbs tends to be bland.

About every other year, the news media in Santa Barbara would start screaming about tar balls on the beaches, blaming the oil companies that still extract oil from the decades-old pumpjacks around South Ellwood, just north of the city.
They'd scream for a couple of weeks, and then about a month or so later, they'd issue a quiet correction noting that the tar balls were natural, and that the Chumach injuns would use them to waterproof their boats and canoes long before the white man came along.

And those supporters of hers are core voters for Dems; activists who can dominate primaries in some important states and also many who are delegates to the convention. In my view, she has a good chance of winning the nomination on their side (with some money and good luck), but she obviously has near-zero chance of winning the general.

Black women will be a near majority, if not a clear majority, of primary voters in SC.
The last Dem to lose SC and win the Dem primary was in 1988.
And SC has just gotten a whole lot more important in the calendar since. Iowa is a joke, and NH's early primary actually isn't recognized by the DNC (the real one is after Super Tuesday, the state's delegation is being punished by the DNC for some reason).
The only early state that matters...Kamala will win by 50 points. And then all the other states will just...do the complete opposite?

I think the key is for access to the private roads and streets where the houses are. Like a gated community. But the beach itself can be accessed from the water, or by walking north or south to it. No fences across the beach.

Agent Run Down by Mentally-Ill Queer Terrorist Suffered Internal Bleeding, Is Now In Hiding, Fearing Assassination by Other Left-Wing Terrorists
The queer terrorist just "bumped" him with her car, like they were dancing.

@CBSNews
BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
He's now in hiding.
Under mounting threats and online harassment, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good is now in hiding, according to President Trump's border czar Tom Homan, who confirmed Tuesday that the situation has deteriorated to the point where the agent's safety -- and that of his family -- is at risk. Speaking on Will Cain Country, Homan said ICE agent Jonathan Ross has been forced out of public view as activists circulate his photograph, personal information, and even "wanted for murder" posters online, accompanied by what Homan described as explicit death threats. Homan said Ross is remaining out of sight while investigations into the shooting continue, stressing that facts -- not political pressure -- should determine the outcome. "I know for a fact now he has to be in hiding," Homan said, confirming that the threats extend to Ross's family as well. Cain pressed him directly on whether the agent was in hiding, and Homan answered flatly: "Yes. For the safety of him and his family."

Exactly. You can be struck by a car, never hit the ground, or even lose your footing and suffer from internal injuries? BS.
If it's real it seems like it would be pretty easy to show medical records in court then, right?
We saw him lean into the car, which turned its wheels to avoid him, which is why he was able to stand next to the driver and fire two more shots at her fucking face
I’m sorry: I cannot sleep well until Johnathan Ross is incarcerated.

Twas always thus. You gotta serve somebody as Bob Dylan said, and a lot of people choose to serve satanic goals.
Stan's favorite trick is inversion where the evil think they are doing good by what is objectively in the Bible described as sin.
Suicide bombers, spree killers, thieves, assassins, Renee Good, etc. Most of them, if caught and interviewed, would say they are good and what they did was justified. And that is why we cannot objectively judge ourselves and what we do. No party can be judge in a case where they have interest. Thus the Lord of all is the judge and by ye fruits he shall know thee.

You know what the old rule was, the one those two wanted to keep?
If local officials--or a judge--decides it wouldn't have affected the outcome, you don't have standing to sue.
But, how are you supposed to know--when you are denied standing to even conduct discovery and inspect the challenged ballots--that it wouldn't have had any effect?
Shut up, plebe--we have decided that for you.

None of them did. They only saw one of the first vids that admittedly is vague on whether he was hit. It's the vid taken from the driver side of the car. There was some debate even on this blog as to whether he was actually hit based on that vid. It wasn't until the next day that the vids started coming that clearly showed he was hit, and pretty hard.

I submit that there are two different kinds of stupid in play.
The first, Hollywood, consists of grossly overpaid halfwits who think everyone should care about their ignorant opinions because they're just so awesome and pretty. They're already rich, so money is less of an inducement.
However DC consists of less grossly overpaid halfwits and some people GAS about their ignorant opinions because those people have the power to force their opinions on others. Money, while still somewhat of an inducement, is less important than the power to command others to do their bidding.

Car was moving at an estimated 7 mph when it hit the ICE officer. Had the street not been icy where he could be pushed backward, he might have died or been seriously injured right there.
Calculating the weight at 4000 lbs and the speed at 7 mph, the result of kinetic energy calc is 8883.5097865304 J or 8.425146 BTU. Well enough to kill or seriously injure. For a rarely used conversion of a bullet kinetic energy to BTU, you get Conversion factor: 1 BTU ≈ 778.17 ft-lbs---6535 ft-lbs of energy when the car collided with the officer.

These antifag pillow-biters are fighting the last war and don't seem to understand the rules of engagement have changed. They are still of the Saint George Era mindset that if they whine and cry enough they'll get their way.
They fully believed that this Dead Dyke would be their new Saint George, and law enforcement would almost completely withdraw and give them "room to riot."
But Trump the Destroyer not only refused to withdraw, he doubled down with increased raids and deportations. The left has no response to that; it simply does not compute. It's like an NPC with only a few lines of dialog that he just keeps repeating no matter what the PC does or says.

You do. But I simply gave teh example as how much sheer force even a mid suv can apply to a person. The average 9 mm slug is about 350 ft lbs of energy but concentrated over a very small area to do its damage. The vehicle's energy is dispersed into the area of the officer that it hits but it is still well above what could be considered lethal in normal circumstances. The agent was lucky to be alive after she hit him without severe injuries or death.
Cars are lethal weapons and are treated with far less consideration than most people do with firearms.
Imagine such a rule that your car cannot be filled up until you actually need to use it, then you can only use the minimum gas to get to the absolutely necessary point and a jury will determine using the totality of circumstances if your actions were justified.

Best way to look at the forces involved getting hit by a car like that is to ballpark the g forces for the given change in velocity (person goes from standing still to car velocity over a short period of time). Value depends on how much flex and give the car has and the person has.
For 10 MPH, peak g will be around 12-30g. That's enough to cause injuries, internal bleeding could be one of them. Usually not fatal, but a damned good knock. Whiplash is a big one.
15MPH and above, now you're getting into good chances of being killed right then and there.

I really don't get the septum ring appeal. Looks like it would hurt to have them put in, and it's way too easy for some joker to snap a dog leash onto the thing.

Apparently, most serious, life threatening injuries from low speed pedestrian impacts (defined as below 12-15 mph, depending) are from the fall.
You get knocked back, pretty hard, but then you land on the ground, possibly hitting your head, or breaking bones.
"Assault with intent to kill" threshold is met for intentionally ramming someone, I would think.

A few hundred Lefty idiots serving five year sentences in federal prison should encourage the others.
When the Lefty newscaster bimbos then ask Homan, etc. why they were throwing these innocent "protestors" in jail, they can respond, "We were taking rapists off of the streets and they were aiding the rapists. As a woman, do you want more rapists or fewer rapists on the streets?"
------
Yep, I suggested the "box canyon" (from old westerns) trap where ICE "accidentally" leaks the location of squad and takes its own sweet time getting to its desired canyon so that there are plenty of obstructors giving chase. Turn into the box canyon, slam on the brakes, and have the waiting Federal troops arrest every single obstructor. It doesn't even matter how long their held or whether the charges "stick", the process becomes the punishment and we get these bullshit artists off the streets for a minute and pondering whether they still want to play.

No. A generation or two ago even upper middle class women were busy helping their kids and grandkids and/or working at real jobs.
Not only did this mean they didn't have time to do these things, but they didn't have the focus to swallow all this propaganda
And the other problem is the marriage one. Married women tend to mirror their husband's politics to some extent. Single women and these sorts of lesbians see themselves as married to Uncle Sugar and so their politics is mirroring that of the federal bureaucracy

The one she hit, the one she was driving toward, and the one that shot her - is all the same officer.
The other officer gave her a lawful order to get out of the car, and was pulling on the driver side pull handle when she accelerated forward.

"The one she hit, the one she was driving toward, and the one that shot her - is all the same officer."
This can't be. The one she hit with the side of the car was knocked away. She turned her wheels straight and proceeded forward. That is when she was shot. Moving toward officer number two.
I've got to look again. I thought the one who told her to get out of the car was the one hit and knocked sideways while she drove off. And as she was driving off her car was facing another officer.
The one who shot her.
I've got to look again.

Yes it struck me as a movie that didn't really know what point it wanted to make. Theoretically it is something like "an ugly truth is better then a beautiful lie" but that cuts deep into other leftwing and feminist ideas and...they tend to present the 50s as plain and boring look at Pleasantville as another in this same area.
And so the movie settled on some sort of empowerment idea. The problem isn't that these women are living in a fake reality...the problem is they didn't CHOOSE to live in a fake reality.
But even then they undercut the idea as one of the women in fact knows she's in a fake reality but prefers it...

A bruise is internal bleeding. And, that's likely the reference. The ironic thing is that a leftist female would, indeed, call it internal bleeding to promote victimization where most normal people would call it a bruise. So, it's likely that ICE is using the left's own foibles against them in this situation.

Like everything else, what women say they want isn't what they actually want.
Aside from a very small handful, none of them want to work outside the home. They want to have a few kids and be mothers, even if they won't admit it to themselves or anyone else - And when they convince themselves that they don't want that and want to go out and girlboss their way through the world, they end up on the other side of the maternal wall wondering why they're miserable harpies that go out and bird-hand ICE officers.

Braenyard,
You are partially correct, I did not write clearly enough.
I only considered the officer in front of the car as the "officer" that was hit, and I have watched lots of video focused on him.
A more accurate depiction would note that TWO officers were hit!
The officer at the driver window definitely had his forearm slammed against the vehicle with significant force.
You picked that up, while many others (including myself) did not.

I then spent the final 10 years of my engineering career designing custom test equipment at NASA's premier test laboratory.

I have actually written a patent and got it accepted. Here is what most people don't know about patents: a patent is an offensive weapon which can be used to sue an infringer. In order to be useful, a patent has to have a lot of money behind it, since using one in a court room costs a lot of money. I do not have a lot of money - so no, I haven't bothered to get patents, I do have some technical witnesses in my engineering note book which can establish me as the original inventor for patent purposes.

All Good had to do was get out of the car. Maybe cuffed and hauled in and then out on a citation. That's all she had to do.
As the lead car of the lesbo anti-ICE parade, and photos of her blowing whistles and bullhorns into ICE officer's faces, she could have been at home doing laundry. Knitting. Making cookies for her son (whom I am convinced they were trannytizing...the lesbo "mothers"). No proof, yet.
I hope Widow does not see a dollar of the $1.5million from fellow bleeding hearts. On the bright side I got to figure out who was the bull dyke from photos. Renee was not far behind and ugh. Not a lipstick lesbo at all. There! I said it!

Wednesday Morning Rant
When Shirley exposed the Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota, he ended up - I suspect completely accidentally - causing an entire vast of edifice of fraud to be exposed like never before. In so doing, he has precipitated a crisis that continues to worsen as information continues to leak out. What Shirley exposed was merely the very small tip of a very large iceberg. What he exposed in Minnesota is not unique to that state or those programs, but turns out to be extremely widespread with a ton of official support for and enablement of it from within the government. The sums involved are both eye-watering and rage-inducing to a degree so severe that it may present a general legitimacy crisis if it goes unchecked.
So how the heck can the government deal with a crisis like that? There are a few approaches I can think of:1. Sweep it under the rug. Pretend the problem doesn't exist. Call it a local issue, sacrifice a few corrupt Party Men in Minnesota and call it a day.
2. Respond in mass. Suspend programs until legitimacy can be established. Aggressively prosecute people from the government to the NGOs to the cut-outs and straw claimants. Provide detailed results to the public and fill the prisons.
3. Try to split the difference. Acknowledge that the problem is much bigger than Somalis and Minnesota, but much smaller than an all-of-government complex of fraud. Sacrifice some people across the board, put up some modest gains/savings and declare victory. The "nothing" approach will result in a lot of fury among the public. Blatant, obvious fraud going completely unpunished while State and Party continue to laugh their way to the bank as they light their cigars with stolen C-Notes will not go over well. It will not trigger revolution, but it will broadly increase the rage level among the public, and simultaneously disincentivize anyone from working hard to support or risking anything to defend a government that behaves this way. The anger will be cold, but will have fairly quiet long-term consequences. Young people who are inclined to work will check out even more than they already have and nobody will view anything the government does as honest or legitimate. It will be steal as steal can, and compound the problem into oblivion. But the Party Men remain by and large safe and they continue looting the empire as they push it toward collapse even faster. The "all" approach runs a real risk of collapsing the government in on itself if the fraud and theft are as widespread as is feared. It may result in systemic failure if fraud at that scale is exposed and acknowledged. If a third or a half of every tax and debt dollar has been stolen - and likely stolen for decades - then people might actually demand blood. There could be no targeted prosecution, it would necessitate a general purge. We'd need a penal colony to deal with the guilty. The economic dislocation would be enormous. If the system survives that kind intervention, it may be a decade or more before it all shakes out. The government may not survive it, and the parties probably wouldn't. The "split the difference" approach is a way of acknowledging a serious problem and reining in some of it, while pretending that it is the entire problem. This is a tricky proposition, but probably very appealing. Don't just sweep it under the rug. Bring some consequences to some of the wrongdoers, be very public about everything and claim the problem is now solved. I think it's going to be Door Number Three, and that Bessent's declaration yesterday is laying the groundwork for it. The reaction to Bessent's declaration around these parts was, to summarize, "yeah, whatever - we all know that's BS and it's way worse than that." This is probably true, and I would be shocked if the real number is less than double or triple that, but I also don't think Bessent is directing that message at those who are really tuned-in to what is going on. Most people aren't that tuned in, and I think it is for them that he is doing this. Frame the problem as being big enough to matter, but small enough to contain - and create the environment to go after that much and no more. In so doing, I suspect the hope is to throw a bone to the people, crucify some insiders, tally up some savings and retain legitimacy through the appearance of responsiveness and effective accountability and enforcement. The problem can't be safely ignored and the full problem is so large it can't be safely addressed, so try to split the baby to maintain legitimacy. It's going to be a very tough needle to thread.

Sadly & Cynically, that sounds slow to me -- it's likely a minimum of twice that much (depending upon one's definition of stolen).

End federal programs. Lower federal taxes. Tell states to raise funds and run programs themselves. Almost like Federalism originally intended.
Much of the fraud is encouraged by states because it isn't their money. The more money requested by people (legal or not), the more they can try and get from the Feds. It punishes responsible states vetting applications and being good stewards of money, and rewards fraud.

It will not trigger revolution, but it will broadly increase the rage level among the public, and simultaneously disincentivize anyone from working hard to support or risking anything to defend a government that behaves this way. The anger will be cold, but will have fairly quiet long-term consequences.
We know the Dems aren't going to do anything. The sticking point is that the GOP won't, either. So long as they can leave office under their own power and die peacefully in their beds, they do not give one red shit about what happens when they are gone.

"As we wrestle in my home state of Minnesota with the fact of deep corruption in the political and economic orders, I want to draw attention to the 'social justice' dimension of this problem. Catholic social teaching has a good deal to say about official corruption, insisting that it undermines confidence in our leaders, compromises the integrity of the institutions of government, and subverts the rule of law. But even more importantly, it deeply harms the poor, stealing resources from them, increasing inequality and blocking essential services such as health and education. And if the widespread fraud in Minnesota is also present in a number of other states, we are dealing with a massive violation of human rights and a heinous attack on the poor and needy."

The only real virtue to Number Three is the hope that, by making examples of the worst offenders, some deterrence effect is finally in place to keep the levels "tolerable".

MAGA people are disgusted by the corruption, hence demands and promises to "drain the swamp."
But even after a decade worth of very foul water under the bridge, they still don't understand (or want to, for that matter) the astounding extent of the corruption.
They do not understand that draining the swamp would leave very little behind. They do not understand that they are asking for regime change.
Trump and Bessent and the rest of the administration *do* understand that, and very clearly, and they are not desirous for it. They don't want to be the guys who turn out the lights on the American experiment.
So they have to soft-pedal this, because if they aggressively go after it, then their own voters might find out more than they're willing to tolerate about the corruption in every other federal program.

Not only has it been trivial and in many cases *legalized* but it is more money then they can make in the private sector.
So to fix this you need to reverse the incentives. We won't be able to get pop culture or the FNM to instill a sense of shame in the grifters, so the answer will have to be rigorous enforcement with big named political figures spending time in prison.
If Timpon or Ellison go to jail for this other grifters will notice and change their risk exposure by stealing less and more discretely...

This was one of things that has darkly amused me with the left's jihad on tariffs.
Yes, actual people pay tariffs...thanks for noticing finally lefties. But this is also true for income, property, capital gains, etc etc taxes.
But when you tax income - people work less. When you tax capital gains they invest less and so on.
Taxing imports...reduces imports. Which unlike investing and working are not clear gains for American society.

Besides the money stolen by outright fraud, there are slothful government employees at all levels who do very little useful work. And, a bunch of regulatory enforcement that is beside the point, contradictory, and impedes just about everything.
It has been preached openly to minorities for generations that government jobs are a path to a secure middle class existence. The view is that the purpose of these jobs is to provide a type of welfare, not to provide useful services.

Absolutely true and accurate.
Want to see massive fraud on the private sector side? Go look at the commodity markets. The banks have been running a hustle for years. Why do you think that JP Morgan had no problem paying a $920 million fine for spoofing the silver market and holding the price of silver far below the actual market value? Answer: their profits from that scam far exceeded the cost of that fine.
And none of these fraudsters in either government or the private sector are in prison. The fact is there are neither enough lamp posts or enough rope to solve the corruption problem in this country.

That already basically exists for under $100k. Most people do not realize how few people pay any significant amount in taxes. We know 1/2 pay nothing. But of the half that does pay, 1/2 of that half pays very little. And then 1/2 of the next 1/2 pays almost everything. The vast majority of federal taxes are paid by a small slice of very rich people. The same people leftists demonize as not paying their “fair share” which is true. They pay like 100X their fair share.

7-2 SCOTUS rules that candidates have a right to challenge voting laws.
Ruling that the Republicans in IL can sue to stop IL from counting absentee ballots after Election Day.
Which ruling is going to expand out and end CA's (and other states) 3-weeks post-election counting.

I had a tree in front of my house that died and needed removed. It was on that strip between the street and the sidewalk. No man’s land. It’s not my property but I’m responsible for it.
I called the city. They said they will pay for removal but I had to take care of logistics. They have “certified” tree removal companies I have to use. Of course those companies charge 3X more than non “certified” companies. I’d bet any sum of money the owners of the “certified” companies are related to city council members or the mayor or both.
Multiply this stuff by millions of similar situations and that’s how you get trillions in fraud.
And it’s never going to stop.

You can find lots of ads looking for house painters, how many have you seen looking for another Rembrandt?
In plain English - if you have skills almost no one has, there is no demand for your skills.
I know how to greatly improve first stage boosters and how to build a high thrust ION engine that could get practical loads to Mars. Does anyone here know Elon?

Well, obviously. How could you even argue that they don't? So, two retards on the Supreme Court thought otherwise. I'm sure one was Ketanji Brown Jackson.

This also means that leftist candidates can have standing to sue things like voter id, shutting down polls on time, etc.
It is just that the previous rule treated those on the right differently than the left such as PA Supreme Court ignoring the law in 2020 on counting ballots without signatures as required by law.
In part, the 2020 challenges failed (and this is why a lot of cheated candidates on the right didn't do it) because of the standing rule. So Lake did not have the right to challenge the failures of Maricopa County and so on.
The old rule meant that the national party had to file the suits or some overarching organization rather than the law as applied to individual candidates. It would be as if your whole workplace had to sue the employer for sex harassment when you were the actual one affected by it.

Kinda funny, but IIRC, you could claim a pet (well, a dog) as some form of a dependent on German taxes. Asked it one nite, as they were 'decluttering' before the tax man came and audited their apartment. Held their keep-ables several days until the Rev'newers moved on...

The "farmhouse at Waterloo" refers primarily to Hougoumont, a fortified farmhouse complex fiercely contested during the Battle of Waterloo (1815) as a key defensive anchor for Wellington's right flank, and also to La Haye Sainte, another vital farmhouse compound in the center, crucial for the Allied defense against French breakthroughs, with both locations now preserved historical sites in Belgium

Posted by: George Costanza at January 14, 2026 09:03 AM (
Ah, so you can see it, too! Everything about the guy is insidious. Very unsettling.
I've always wondered about this. Whether it's Ted Bundy or a politician, a large portion of people automatically trust a young, clean-cut person with a winning smile, no matter what flashing red warning lights are going off all around them.
Not to say there aren't subtle operators who get by me, I'm sure it's more than I think. But ever since I was a little boy I've been able to immediately sense when certain people are completely evil. It's just an instinct, and a lot of people have it, perhaps a majority.
It's like a lot of people are simply missing a survival mechanism. I think if these people were wild animals instead of humans, most of them would die before adulthood.

Part of the power in the painting is the realistic appearance and poses of the wounded (fatally?) man and the animals. The scene isn't dramatic but the accurate details and colors make it very real and keep the viewer's attention while they absorb the emotional aspects. It is a sobering and effective image.

A bugle has no valves and plays limited notes (like Taps), while the trumpet (bright, piercing, cylindrical bore) and cornet (warm, mellow, conical bore) are like valved bugles, with the cornet's tighter, conical tubing creating a softer sound than the trumpet's more direct, cylindrical design, despite both having valves and similar tubing length.

Half of Trump's 2020 loss was because of all the violent protests deranged Lefties did during Trump's first term. Normies don't want to see non-stop, unhinged, violent rioting. It worked before, and they're looking to do it again...and it kind of looks initially successful. Trump's poll numbers are low, ICE polls terribly.
However, I think Trump leared from his first term, and he isn’t going to passively pussyfoot around protests and leave it to the states to manage.

Under the new law, politicians can be suspended or removed if they deliberately mislead the public. It is a major shift toward accountability and political honesty and it sets a precedent other countries have never taken this far before.
Whether it changes politics long term remains to be seen but it is a bold move that is already getting global attention.

Since Trump/DOJ/Doge already know where the money to interfere with ICE and set up violent confrontations are coming from,
I wish they'd go after these fuckers hammer and tongs.
Peaceful, well-ordered demonstrations? Sure knock yourself out.
Violent, obstructive attempts to foment revolution...Nope, not legal. Go after the money now! And make arrests of the kingpins.

The Morning Report — 1/14/26
When the Trump administration sent some 2,000 immigration agents to the Twin Cities area, they were met by activists who trailed their movements and harassed them outside their hotels. The activists are members of radical groups that together have received millions of dollars from the Left's premier foundations and dark money networks, including George Soros's Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington Free Beacon review found.It's a very short walk from childish pranks to disturbing the peace and then ultimately terrorism. The decomposing zombie who attempted to ram ICE agents in Minneapolis didn't just make a snap decision that led to her demise. She was propagandized to the point of brainwashing. No right thinking rational person would have ever put himself/herself in the position to be directly confronting law enforcement officers let alone attempt to kill them. They allowed themselves to be absorbed into a death cult to become cannon fodder. Cut off the money and you cut off the lifeblood of the cancer that is killing us from within. Meanwhile, the citizens' uprising in Iran which has been going on for days has led to ever increasing violence and repression on the part of the Mullahs, which is in direct proportion I assume to the growing fear that their hold on power might at long last be at an end. Beyond crucial moral rhetorical and diplomatic support for the Iranian people, President Trump is upping the ante.
At the center of the unrest is the Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group founded to fight climate change that has since directed its local chapters to fight the Trump administration. For Sunrise Twin Cities, that means tormenting ICE agents on the ground. The group holds in-person "action trainings" on how to "stop ICE & build a revolution." It also maintains a running list of the Twin Cities hotels housing ICE agents and organizes late-night "noise demonstrations" aimed at making it "impossible" for those hotels to operate.
As the death toll from Iran’s crackdown on anti-regime protests reaches staggering levels — with families searching through body bags, over 10,000 arrested, and executions underway — President Donald Trump canceled all talks with Iranian officials, declared “help is on its way,” warned that regime killers “will pay a big price,” and urged protesters to “take over your institutions” against the brutal Islamic Republic theocracy, while the U.S. urged Americans to leave the country.Is it bluster or will the President back up the tough rhetoric with concrete action, meaning military strikes on regime targets? There are pluses and minuses to be sure, as the erudite Michael Goodwin notes in his analysis of the situation...
American power can make itself known in various ways, as Teddy Roosevelt brilliantly outlined with his famous admonition to “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Truth be told, Donald Trump has never been a fan of speaking softly, but his Tuesday comments on the upheavals in Iran still managed to be close enough for now.. . .He noted that “hawkish U.S. policies toward Iran have historically empowered hardliners” and that military action “risks changing the subject from Iranians’ justified grievances against the regime to its international opponents,” namely Israel and the US. “Trying to appropriate domestic opposition inside Iran risks undermining it,” he adds, and argues that “a pragmatic, hands-off approach should guide U.S. policy in the days ahead.” Additionally, with Washington increasingly focused on the midterm elections, Trump is already facing domestic controversies, such as the ICE crackdown, and, most important, tough polling numbers on his handling of the economy. A Real Clear Politics average of surveys taken in recent weeks shows 41% of respondents approving of his economic policies and actions, with 56% disapproving. . . Against that backdrop, and with events in Venezuela still unsettled, a military entanglement in Iran would probably not be popular at home. That’s not to say the US should turn its back on the brutal regime’s crackdown. But the political reality is that the president can’t afford to turn his attention too far or too long from Americans’ kitchen table issues.Elsewhere, In the most electrifying news from way out of left field, Associate Justice Kentanji Brown-25 Jackson is a complete embarrassment.
As you probably could have guessed, Jackson struggled through a series of nearly incomprehensible statements about sex, gender identity, and sports classifications. It was embarrassing. “You have the overarching classification, you know, everybody has to be, um, uh, uh, play on the team that is the same as their sex at birth. Um, but then you have a gender identity definition that is operating within that. Meaning, a distinction, meaning that, um, for, uh, cisginger [sic] girls they can play consistent with their gender identity, w- for transgender girls, they can’t.” It’s hilarious that Jackson stumbled over the pronunciation of one of the left’s favorite made-up words, all while failing to understand the difference between real girls and boys who pretend to be girls.SCOTUS observers have noted that it was not a shining moment for those promoting the transexual madness and that sanity might actually prevail. But of course this is the Supreme Court and the preservation of Leftism and its pomps has been its priority, Heller and Dobbs among a few other rare exceptions notwithstanding. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Exactly what I thought would happen. Since Good got blown away, the subsequent national MFM freakout and the riots in MN have now made ICE gun-shy. Which is exactly what the left counted on, and now they are going to triple down.
Expect no more dead protestors. Expect a number of dead ICE agents.
Do not expect Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act.

well, bluster is part of the man's DNA, so it's a constant factor. But it is cruel to keep promising the Iranian people help, and not coming thru. The Iranian revolution has arrived at the mass murder of the people phase. I don't understand the delay- maybe it's target selection, maybe it's domestic politics and polling, fear of press backlash, weak knees, whatever.

Soros and Reid Huffman are two names that surface. But there's this guy; Neville Roy Singham, a US born billionaire who's currently in Singapore. He's aligned with the ChiComs. He's big time into anti-ICE.
So... perhaps indirectly, China is behind much of the unrest and supplying the funds to train these "professional protesters." No doubt they're being brainwashed into thinking nothing will happen to their passive resistance, other than a trip to the local police department where they'll meet up with someone from their group with the money to bail them out.

Posted by: SMOD at January 14, 2026 07:50 AM (VK3KQ)
I've been giving this more thought. I don't think it is enforceable and it does nothing to solve housing costs.
Institutional buyers serve a role (don't know if its vital) in lowering risk and adding stability. When the next down turn in the economy happens, similar to when people were walking away from mortgages, banks aren't good landlords and want to clear that inventory from their books. That is where institutional investors can come in.
If I have two buyers for my property, one is paying cash and the other makes me wait a month to MAYBE secure financing, al other things equal, I'm going with the cash buyer. I don't want yet another Populist government ban to get in the way.
Eliminating vectors for pension, insurance and hedge funds to stabilize their portfolios and establish performing income streams increases risk and raises prices.
Go attack local governments for policies that jack housing costs. Embrace new technology (3D printing of homes), kick out 50 million illegal aliens.

Just like they were behind the BLM/antifa riots. Neville Singham is married to Jodie Evans, one of the co-founders of Code Pink, which is also being funded by China.
Some of the funding and organization comes through groups and people like Singham and Code Pink and some comes directly from China. If you remember during the riots the Chinese consulate in Houston was raided and a mysterious fire burned a bunch of their records.

I wouldn't say "stupid", but Mimetic Theory would definitely explain these numbers.
Mimetic Theory is a significant theme of the Apostles when they exhort the Elect to set their minds on things other than the interests of the world.
The English translations make copious use of the words "desire", "heart" and "temptations". Your will follows your desires. Your desires are external in the sense that for most people the desires come from someone/something else and are malleable therefore constant vigilance is needed to make sure that the influences on your desires come from God, not the world.
So given this Truth, if the world tells you to love criminal immigrants and hate ICE, then your own desires will bend that way.

Remove private equity and I have to work until I die. Am I supposed to just stash savings under the mattress, losing value every day due to inflation and eventually just being stolen from me by fire or theft?
No, it is invested in things like the building you work in, the factory that built your car, the liquidity that banks have to make you loans, the infrastructure for farmers to decide what to plant this year and a myriad of other things euphemistically called "private equity".
You expect me to trust the government to either steal from a worker or just print money out of thin air to cover the expenses of the last few years of my life, or do you want me to self-fund?
Government has already proven completely unreliable in this, so it is private equity that will save us all.

One thing he left out was the formation of the Moon. That is an unlikely event which may be critical for intelligent life.
But still, given the huge size of the galaxy, the long time spans, and the unlikelihood of intelligent life, he stated that in our local area we are alone. With maybe 300,000 civilizations in the galaxy at the same time. His guess.

BREAKING NEWS
A United States Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President JD Vance has been placed on administrative leave following allegations that he disclosed sensitive and classified security information.
Agent Tomas Escotto was suspended after an undercover video released by independent journalist James O’Keefe allegedly showed him revealing operational details related to the Vice President’s protective detail. According to the footage, Escotto discussed Vice President Vance’s schedule and upcoming locations during an active tour—information that, if accurate, could pose a serious security risk.
In the video, Escotto also reportedly made political statements, claiming he voted for Joe Biden and expressing opposition to Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
The situation has raised significant concerns, as the Secret Service is expected to operate as a strictly nonpartisan organization. Any disclosure of protected operational details—regardless of political views—undermines public trust and could compromise the safety of elected officials.
The Secret Service has not yet released further details on the investigation.

Re SETI. It's always been a waste of time. The inverse square law vs signal to noise mean that any alien civilization would have to be beaming very strong signals right at us to be detected.
We've been broadcasting for over 100 years. What's the bubble of detection for our general isotropic signal leakage? 5, 20 light years max. Some of our more powerful beamed signals, like radar might be detectable 100 light years out or a little better.
The most powerful signals we've sent are the "planetary radar" experiments we've done, like with the old Arecibo dish. Very powerful tightly beamed radar bouncing off the planets to measure distance precisely and other things. Those might make it out to a few thousand light years, but only in the narrow beam width.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WALKS FREE After KILLING 15-Year-Old Girl in Charlotte Hit-and-Run
A 15-year-old child is dead, and the man responsible is walking free.
According to emergency calls and witness statements, 40-year-old Julio Cesar Xocop-Vicente ran a stop sign in Charlotte and hit 15-year-old Amber Paris so hard that her body was lifted into the air. He didn’t stop. He didn’t check on her. He ran away on foot — later admitting he fled because of his immigration status.
Amber suffered two broken legs, internal bleeding, and major organ injuries. She was placed into a medically induced coma and passed away weeks later.
Vicente was arrested the next day… but released on just $10,000 bail despite being a flight risk. And while Amber was still in a coma fighting for her life, one of his charges — driving without a license — was dismissed.
After Amber died, his charges should have been upgraded to manslaughter or felony death by vehicle. That never happened. No new charges.
Cont.

And this wasn’t his first run-in with the law:
• Driving without registration
• Failure to secure a child passenger
• Speeding
• DUI
• Driving without a license (multiple times)
• DWI
• Assault on a female
• Skipping court
• Violating probation
This man should have been deported after his earliest offenses.
He should have been held in custody long before this crash ever happened.
He should have been taken off the streets before he killed an innocent 15-year-old girl.
And Amber Paris should still be alive today.
A broken system protected a repeat offender — and failed a child who deserved a future.

Private equity exists to make money for the investors of the private equity fund. Great, YOU get to retire rich as the money managers you chose to get you money destroyed everything they touched in order to get 0.0001% more profit this quarter.

I was surprised to read this (of course, I know zippo about female reproduction stats), since all the women I know in their thirties are in a panic to freeze what few eggs they have, so I asked my new friend chatgpt. It says you are right on target:
Typical numbers (approximate)
At birth: ~1–2 million immature eggs
By puberty: ~300,000–500,000 remain
Over a lifetime: only about 400–500 will ever mature and be ovulated

Private equity was almost nothing until the 1980s. Were we a communist country before that?
You should watch the video on the destruction of Hooters by private equity. You should read some of the articles about private equity landlords and the state of things.

There is asset tokenization which digitizes and fractionalizes ownership of real-world assets via blockchain-based tokens.
That increases liquidity and faster settlement, reduces operational and regulatory overhead and anyone with internet access can invest without relying on regional stock exchanges or brokers.
Sounds great, right? Now for $20 you can also be an investor in private equity and share a slice of the business.
Oh - its pushed by WEF. And this animosity towards "private equity" is also propaganized by WEF so that you will hate it and embrace tokenization.
Rather than just accepting the desire to hate something, you should ask why I am supposed to hate this thing I'm being propagandized to hate.

So when uncle Joe asked you at the Thanksgiving table if you would help him open up his service station by lending him a few thousand dollars, and you countered with, forget the loan, I want to be part-owner, that wasn't private equity? Right?
PE has been around long before stock exchanges. It was how families created "The Family Business". That donut shop down the road? Private Equity - family members and maybe friends are co-investors.
"Employee Owned" businesses, or operations that let employees invest because it is not on the public market are "Private Equity".
I have been involved in private equity for years and rely on it for income.

She told ICE officers she is disabled and needs to get to her doctor, up ahead.
The ICE-blocking drivers and a lot of drivers who don't want to be stopped by LEO all have a similar excuse memorized. "I'm going to get medicine my mother needs now!" "I'm not feeling well and am driving to the hospital!"
If police ultimately order them out of their vehicle for justified reasons some refuse and must be dragged out. When arrested, after voluntarily or involuntarily getting out of vehicle, many claim the cuffs are hurting them, they can't breathe, they're in pain and want to go to a hospital, etc.
I have not looked, but utube, facebook, X, and TikTok must have a crap-load of videos describing these tactics.

We've found 6000 exoplanets so far, and we've only just begun to look.
Think of it this way. Let the Milky Way be the continental US. We've been isolated and shut up inside our little house somewhere. We've just emerged and are looking for other houses like ours.
The detection window for those 6000 lie in a bubble maybe up to a 1000 miles around us. The bigger the building the farther out we can see.
We've found a some house-like things in a radius maybe 50 - 200 miles around us. And we're nowhere near finding all the little houses in that range. It's only when their lights on are own in just the right way to see.

But it was kind of sad. She started with Ruby killing Oswald as a formative event in her life. Meanders on to her sister's recent death. Along the way, sprinkling in drive-by Biblical references.
All to reach the crescendo that the "Mad King" is going to kill millions.
You see a mind fully pickled by marinating in 60 years of media news propaganda.
But what was sad is the real lament: She desperately wants to believe there is an afterlife, a Heaven. For her. For her sister. For Good.
But she just can't get there without ... proof.
Because woven underneath her whole article is an abject fear of death-- that this life must have (political) meaning and purpose, held sacred, because we don't know what comes next.

It's simply insane the amount of space this issue takes up considering it affects like 8 people. As much as I hate to say it, I really wish they hadn't brought suit in this legal climate. It's going to be harder to undo in the future.
So, what, we should keep "separate but equal" indefinitely? The Equality Act, which Democrats tried and failed to pass the last time they were in the Congressional majority, would have given trans women the right to participate in women’s sports. It would have done many other things as well, but sports were the main focus of controversy.
the system needs to change to be ‘classes’ of participants rather than gender-based. Most likely, this would be best if based on the levels of hormones that the players have in their bodies. Similar to how boxers have classes based on their weight.

There's nothing inherently wrong with PE. Virtually all of the new tech companies and a great number of other companies in other industries are funded with PE.
But you always have to remember the goal of VCs is not necessarily the same as those of the people running the businesses. And they are ruthlessly focused on their goals. In their world people are expendable and they usually know far less about the actual company and industry they are investing in than the people who work in the industry. They can run a spreadsheet like a boss but nuance and other issues are not in their vocabulary and as someone said last night when you take the King's money you are the King's man.
Or as the Joker asked "Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?".

Just looking up the exoplanet situation. So far we've found about 25 earth-sized planets. In the analogy above, those 25 are little house-like things we've found in our local county.
By 2040, there's a proposed mission, using some advanced tech "not yet matured" that hopefully will be able to analyze the chemical signatures of their atmospheres.
There are likely more than 25 in our county, we just aren't able to detect them. That will change with the Nancy Roman telescope, and it will find a lot more.

SCOTUS has ruled, twice now - I believe, that the prohibition on ex-post facto laws only applies to laws which include a penalty of some sort and taxes aren't considered a penalty. There have been a few ex-post facto tax increases in US history. AFAIK, this is the first time one will be initiated in that manner. Still, I wouldn't count on the courts stopping it.

Going outside and seeing all the beauty that he has created, it's just amazing when you ask for help you would be surprised how much of a difference it can make in your life. You'll be a happier person.

The American Climate Corps is a visionary new policy that will employ and train tens of thousands of young people in good-paying jobs to stop the climate crisis.

Palestinians deserve the right to their land. We deserve the right to a livable future.
Fight for both with us at the link in our bio."
A young lady in the post does a well written speech linking a number of issues to climate change including, but not limited to, greed & billionaires. However, in particular, she talked about a NYC synagogue selling land off in the West Bank, thereby depriving Palestinians.

Daily Tech News 14 January 2026
- Every part of human bodies from the brain to, um, other bits, is increasingly overrun with microscopic particles of plastic, unless somehow every study generated by the entire field is measuring contaminants or misinterpreting normal biological processes. (The Guardian)
But that couldn't possibly be true, could it?"I'm convinced we detected microplastics," she said. "But I've always said that [the amount estimated] could be maybe twice lower, or 10 times higher." In response to Kuhlman's letter, Prof Lamoree and colleagues said he had "incorrectly interpreted" the data.
Well, that doesn't sound convinced. And Lamoree was the lead author on a 2022 paper that first detected microplastics in human blood.Prof Lamoree said: "I really think we should collaborate on a much nicer basis - with much more open communication - and don't try to burn down other people's results. We should all move forward instead of fighting each other."
Don't ask questions. Questions are mean!"We do have plastics in us - I think that is safe to assume," said Materić.
Assume?"But real hard proof on how much is yet to come."
And may never arrive.
Tech News
- There is no audience for Apple's Vision Pro because there is no content for Apple's Vision Pro because there is no audience for Apple's Vision Pro and this is all somehow your fault according to Apple. (Stratechery)
With the Apple II, and the Mac, and the iPhone, you had to fend off customers with pitchforks.
With the Vision Pro that's a little less true.
- First they came for your DRAM. Next they came for your air conditioning. And lights. (MSN)
Power demand in the US is expected to rise 25% by 2030, largely due to AI datacenter buildouts, according PJM (Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection), the largest power grid operator in the US.
Is there 25% more power to go around? Uh, no.When Asthana took over as CEO of PJM in 2020, power plants within its service area were shutting down more quickly than they could be replaced. Six years later, that trend has continued even though power demand has risen.
In fact, worse than no.
- President Trump has said that regulatory changes are on the way to prevent AI datacenters from pushing the costs for expanding the power grid onto retail customers. (Tom's Hardware)
No word yet on the other problem.

Where would we be without analysts? (The Register)
"We had assumed this would be primarily a 2026 story. More and more, particularly at CES, we had conversations with folks and they're saying 'You won't find price stability in memory up until maybe late 2027.' It means that prices will stop rising. Not that they're going to drop. That's what we're hearing," he told us on Tuesday. "This could be much longer than we had previously anticipated. Not just we at IDC, but we as a collective market."
There are still some options for buying memory that aren't insanely inflated, but they're getting fewer by the day. Most people don't eat memory like I do, fortunately, or need multiple computers in every room of the house... Like I do.
-
The Framework Desktop has finally increased in price, for example. (Tom's Hardware)
Though the 32GB model has only increased from $1099 to $1139 - which still makes it competitive with leaked pricing for the Steam Cube.
The 128GB model has jumped from $1999 to $2459, a much steeper climb but less than the price increase on 128GB of RAM bought at retail.
Well, if memory and energy prices are going to increase tenfold, at least here's some slop to show for it.
Notable cameos, in order: JD Vance, Tony from LC Signs, Smug Alana, Kirsche Verstahl, Will Smith, Leaflit, Filian, Asmongold, Nuxanor, Joe Rogan with some assistance from Rogaine, Jeffrey You Know Who, Hasan Piker's long-suffering dog Kaya, Elon Musk (climbing the pyramid), Shoeonhead maybe, Hero Hei, Revsaysdesu, Chibidoki, Charlie a.k.a Moistcritical, Tim Pool, Itsagundam, Neuro-sama, Rick Astley, Bob Ross, Leaflit again in slime form, and God Emperor Trump.
And the guy who put this together knows exactly what he's doing, unlike the team behind that execrable Coca Cola Christmas ad. Check the name of the song.
Disclaimer: Yes, it's slop, but it doesn't pretend to be anything more.

Yeah, it flows pretty smoothly but that's an illusion from being used to watching videos cut together from short film segments. It's been manually stitched together from hundreds of half-second snippets of AI-generated animation, because AI loses its marbles if you leave it running much longer than that.

How do they put together the vocals for a production like that? Just one talented singer in a studio? I think so.
Then there is the video production. Unreal.
Go to any animated film and watch the credits roll at the end. A thousand names or more, often.
Has AI made it so that one person can do all this, with the help of course of the singer?

You don't want blind diversity, you want complementary skills contributions and sense of mission. And most certainly don't want associates that spend time undoing work for the sake of their own agenda.

It's probably the aggregate collision rate combined with the number of people (most likely illegal aliens) who have NO insurance and so the insurance companies end up paying out without being able to sue to recover. Yes, their customers take it in the shorts, because that's how it works - costs MUST be passed on.
Still sucks for you. Hopefully whatever state you select to move to won't be in the same situation.

Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - January 13, 2026 [Doof]
Joke's on you! Woman Files Complaint Against Husband Because He Concealed the Fact That He Was Bald
Lavika Gupta, a resident of Gaur City Avenue-1, in central Noida, recently filed a police complaint against her husband and four in-laws, alleging that she was deceived when she agreed to marry her spouse in 2024. Among her accusations, the woman claims that she was promised a man with lush, healthy hair, but married a bald man wearing a wig. According to the First Information Report (FIR) filed at Bisrakh police station, Lavika Gupta and Sanyam Jain were married on January 16, 2024. The wife claims that she was deceived at the time, with Jain and his family concealing various details about his physical appearance, education, and financial status. *** Gupta added that when she agreed to marry Sanyam, she was promised a man with “thick hair”, but she later learned that her spouse was bald and wearing a patch to conceal his lack of hair.Must have been a really good hairpiece! ----- Guys can always use more tools, right? I'm not really sure what the purpose of these are, though. Need someone to mansplain, please! "Vampliers" are an engineering marvel that every homeowner needs
Vampliers come from the company Vampire Tools, a Japanese manufacturer that uses premium high-carbon steel for its professional-grade tools. It has an entire lineup of Vampliers, which refer to specifically designed pliers that can get you out of difficult situations. Suppose you are using your electric screwdriver to screw in a long screw to hold up some curtains. As you're pressing it into the wall, your driver slips and strips the head of the screw. You try to put your screwdriver back into the head of the screw, but it can't catch any of the edges, and it won't turn the screw anymore. What are you supposed to do? I've been in situations like this before, and the goal is to get some kind of traction on that screw so it turns. A good set of pliers can feel like a forgotten tool, but even ones that you normally have may not work with their design. At that point, you either want to just get the screw out of the wall, so you can replace it. I've tried different methods, like putting a rubber band onto the top of the screw and adding my screwdriver against that in hopes that the rubber would conform to the top of the screw and allow me to turn it. With Vampliers, they are engineered with a patented design that has serrations not only vertically down the tip of the pliers but also horizontally. This gives you a greater chance of being able to grab the side of the screw head, rather than having to deal with the stripped head. You can latch onto the side from a downward angle or from a side angle, allowing you to potentially spin the screw and get it to come out.Help me out, fellas. Are these really must-haves?? ----- OK, ladies - can you understand this?
-----
No cognitive dissonance here, right?

Maybe 10 years ago a company -- I think it was just called "Engineer" in Japan -- started selling a line of screw grabbing pliers. I have one or two. They were new and they had displays in all the home centers with rounded screws. They are pretty good.
I already had some Knipex, which are the slotted adjustable ones with the orange handle (German) and they are essential.
This vampler thing sounds like either a rebrand, or a copy. I would check that they really are made in Japan though -- China plays all kinds of tricks, like putting the handle on, or packaging in a country and saying they are "made" there.

All by yourself in the house? Well, then. E-5 is your assignment. HOWEVER, at a party with people right outside the door. You're, at least, going to the more quiet E-1 or E-9. The less water, the less sound. The professionals shoot for the non-water porcelain on the side for ultimate muffle. This is basic stuff. There is a caveat to this as well. If your conscientious, you're going to be concerned about a targeting error requiring clean up. Even at someone else's house. So, focus and concentrate.
If you're hammered. There's a perfectly good sink at the perfect level. Don't forget to rinse the bowl. And no funny business with other people's toothbrushes. That's over the line.

I use them occasionally. They have really sharp teeth and grip well. Good steel.
The Knipex (oddly shown at top of the link for vamplers) are essential. I have several of them and they have good steel, so sharp teeth, so they grip well. Like a new pipe wrench.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani fired back on social media after Trump made his comments, saying “Our values and our laws are not bargaining chips. We will always defend New Yorkers, even in the face of federal threats to withhold funding.”
Mayor Jihadi should have paid closer attention to his oath of office:
The oath of office for the New York City mayor involves a solemn promise to support the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution, as well as to faithfully discharge the duties of the office.
He can't support sanctuary cities AND the US Constitution. If he had no intention to, after solemnly swearing to, that's fraud.

When the potential prize for winning is the total output of everyone forever, there is no end to what some will attempt. That's how you get the World Economic Forum. But some prizes go beyond even that to the spiritual, or so it seems, as materialism does not seem sufficient to explain the evils of Muhammed and George Soros.
So, I take the enemies of civilization seriously. I think they're often nihilistic liars who neither know nor care if their own words are true, but I think their goal (which they lie about) is serious. But I don't take AI seriously. I think that it can't even be iterated into something that can tell what's going on, since that's a category error.

Not overly impressed with the Vampliers. If you are going to use them end-on to back out a screw, the serrations on the jaw tips should be cut the other way.
Pro tip: for Phillips and slot screws where the driver bit tends to cam out of the recess on the screw head, dip the tip of the screw driver into some coarse-grade valve grinding compound, and try again. It will double the grip, at least. Commonly lets you develop enough torque to snap the screw head right off, if the screw is well and truly stuck.

My grade school's urinals had air-freshener / splash-mats with targets drawn on them.
There are also stickers depicting flies or other insects designed to be placed in urinals and toilets to help with aiming.
So, to answer your question seriously..... yes, there's a fundamental bit of programming in the dinosaur part of the brain that makes dudes of any age aim when there's something to aim for.

Well, obviously one should take steps to free up the stuck threads before snapping the screwhead off. Just pointing out that the valve grinding compound stunt really does work amazingly well. I have other tricks for removing broken screws, too.
You can vastly improve an ordinary "flat Blade" screwdriver by grinding the tip such that, seen end-on, it looks a little like a convex lens: thick at the middle, thin at the edges. Subtle, middle maybe 20% thicker than the edges. Makes a huge increase in grip.

Decent price for Victor, which is a good brand. Don't know where they are made now, though. Harbor Freight has an "Olsen" Victor-style outfit for $349. Tote with two small tanks, regulators, hoses, torch handle, cutting and welding tips, and goggles. They have more comprehensive kits as well.
Also check Craiglist, and local swap meets and flea markets. Good welding torches last nearly forever. Hoses get old and porous, and should be replaced every 20 years or so.

Where metal meets with weak and feeble might.
Welds like frail cobwebs in the morning dew,
Betraying strength, yet whispering of rue.
A treacherous grasp, where safety doth equivocate,
In this faulted bond, fate doth hesitate.

Fired it up, and psuhed it into a patch of 3-foot tall mallow weeds. Slash! Splatter! Topple! I was knocking them down like a combine knocks down wheat straws. In less than an hour, I had completely nuked the entire weed crop, save for a few stragglers too close to obstacles for the blade to reach. It was shooting jets of mulched weed guts over a six foot chain link fence. And into it, too. The fence is well decorated now. My neighbor came out and shot video of the slaughter.

My recollection, my lasting impression, is that what John said about Beatles being more popular than Christ among young people was not a stunt, but sincerely meant, and despite how it was taken,* he did NOT consider that a positive thing nor was he comparing himself, or the group to Jesus. But it was (relatively) true, and the decline in Christianity (especially in England) continues.
(*I know, in this day and age, it's hard to believe the media or "interested parties" could take someone's words out of context and blow them out of proportion.🙄
"More popular than Jesus"
https://w.wiki/HSVg
Then John came out with a bumbling attempt at an apology (displaying his own lack of sound theology: "God as a thing") and that somewhat made it worse.
https://youtu.be/Fe9Z8GtB08s
By that point, it was a damned if you do or don't position, anyway. People still get p'o'd for their view of it.
I was and remain aghast at seeing all their albums burned, though. What a loss.

Naw. That's when you break out the MIG welder, and weld some sort of "handle" onto the stubborn screw. Gives you some purchase on it, and the heat-cool cycle helps break whatever bond (rust, galling, glue, etc.) that has made it seize in the hole. If "handle" breaks off, rinse and repeat. Multiple heat-cool cycles work wonders.

Nah, your first guess was right - for the fentynyl fix
Don't know if peeps remember the addict friend I had saved over the summer. He passed away last Thursday, homeless and alone. The last text I got was Tues night begging for $20 for food. Which I ignored. Because it never ends. Well, now it has. And I don't feel at all guilty. His girlfriend was planning on coming back from North Carolina after her parents spent an ungodly amount of money to put her through safe detox. Love ya Chris but your death probably saved her life. Rest in peace.
Fentynyl is a very stupid drug. If you find that someone you care about is using, beat them half to death with a spoon and then get them off the sht. Even if that means replacing their Stupidity with Meth or Heroin.

Thats a bummer. I went through it with a friend a few years ago. He died the same way, homeless and alone. Found him outside of his car behind a barn somewhere. Laid there for a week during a brutal July heatwave. I thought I had him on the road to recovery. I guess not.

Consolation? Not sure, they aren't my people, he was an accidental friend. But I learned alot about the culture from him. Most of the homeless are either insane or have managed to fck over every friend or family member that cared about them. They exist on theft to exist and fund their drug fix. I think I gave this guy and his girl $10k over the summer for food, camping supplies, cell phone bills etc and STILL he was always looking for an angle to rip me off.
I credit Trump for shutting the border down. It sent a shockwave through the homeless addict community in Dallas. Everything suddenly tripled in price. Although I remember a famous quote about another drug epidemic - something about how it ended because it killed all its clients

There's a housing situation (I forget the feel-good-lie of a name they've given to it) being built in my town. A place for the "homeless" to go and "recover" or whatever. Hopefully there will be drug-testing required for tenancy, but don't know for sure how that'll work out.

Not being a power guy I held my tongue until the fifth meeting on the problem then rose my hand hand pointed out that, I am not a power guy, but do not get why you keeping talking about 1200A when the plans show 800A...
Lead electrical engineer jumped on it, Aha, we have a problem Houston... Kind of a big design issue... Put in my retirement papers. Last I heard power company was going to have to run 32KV on the high side to meet the demand.

Current primary is 13.2KV (?), coordination with power company was supposed to upgrade to the 32KV primary a couple of years ago. Company forgot.

I think the 12K people killed in Iran is now pretty much verified. And it may be a lot more that. I was seeing low and high numbers, skeptical of the high end, but damn, looks like it's true. Mullah slaughterhouse.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley

I suppose 12k killed isn't necessarily a rationale for deposing those bastards because we don't go around saving people from their own leaders so much, but doesn't it seem likely that they'll come back more threatening to America and our allies than ever? I really want to save that revolution.

>12,470V is pretty common here, but I've seen where they're pulling so much load that the overhead power cables got so hot, due too being too light a gauge, that they were sagging into the prairie lands and setting the fields on fire.

Yes, it's very common and often it is lived with for yrs before something else kills you.
The initial PSA test is notoriously inaccurate, but further tests give a better picture. Mine was a medium aggressive cancer so at 67 I opted for treatment.
I'm just very very saddened by Scott Adams death at 68. He left an interesting letter professing Christian faith that his widow made public.

That's the standard distribution line voltage out here with Duke, which I just call 7200V for the phase to neutral.
Duke has its particular "style" of the look of their pole wiring. Other utilities around the general area here in the SC/NC area have different styles.
I was downstate a bit one time, and noticed something looked different. It was Duke, but the "style" looked a bit different. I realized it was the insulators were bigger, and more "bells" where they used those. That was double, 14,400V to ground.

The 1kV/mile rule of thumb is evident. If reasonably balanced, the line-to-line voltage governs, and so "7200" gets you about 13 miles, which they can push a little more than that.
Down there way out in the country where I noticed the 14400, it was much longer runs. Made perfect sense. It looked weird to me, with the bigger insulators on top of the poles and transformers.

>I'm no expert but running overhead or underground aluminum conductors is all good until you need to up the current and then you have an issue with wire gauge and insulation if you need to jack up the voltage. Trial and error always show you way, regardless of what you think you know.

When I moved here a few years ago I had a lawn service fertilize the lawn and give it it's treatments. The dude before me never did shit with it. He said "its a country yard", meaning it looks good enough without any effort. I should have listened, after the lawn service I had a dust bowl. 3/4 of the lawn was dead and replaced by dirt, because 3/4 of the lawn wasn't grass to start with, so the weed killer killed my weed lawn. It took 2 years to bring it back after seeding the shit out of it, but now its decent. I came to terms with it, its a country yard, don't push it. lol

Which variety of pumpkin are you trying to grow? There are many from which to choose.
Does your "patch" get at least 6-8 hours of full sun every day, and thorough watering only when the soil dries out?
Are there pests that damage or destroy your crop?

Could be poor pollination: plant some flowers nearby to encourage pollinators, or use a small brush to apply pollen from flower to flower on your pumpkin plants
Could be high heat: Maybe plant where there will be shade at midday, but good sunlight in morning/evening.
Could be overwatering: Soak well only when soil is dry to depth of an inch or two. Don't plant near where lawn-watering occurs.

I think it's a combo of too much heat and too much water -- I can't control it because the patch is irrigated. They're getting double doses of excess!
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at January 14, 2026 03:54 AM (Jxa0O)
Pumpkins have both male and female flowers. Search for pics... Only the females will produce pumpkins, but must be pollinated by male flowers.
The female flowers are the ones with the little swelling on their stem. Male flowers usually appear first, but the plants will keep producing both as the season progresses.
Posted by: JQ at January 14, 2026 03:57 AM (rdVOm)
Those "other flowers" are not near her pumpkin patch, though.

You're a good man.
But I've got to one-up you here.
Night 2 of my cross-country move, we stayed at this real dump of an interstate motel in Forrest, AR. Not scary or anything, but not a place you look forward to staying in.
Me, my wife, my brother, a cat & 3 kids in 2 dingy little rooms.
I get out the travel letterbox that she adamantly refused to use at several stops, and release Luna. She bolts out smeared in crap from tail to whiskers, and proceeds to run all over the motel room.
All. OVER.

The last time I was in Thailand my customer provided a driver/interpreter for me. I can bluff my way around a lot of places by Thai is like some martian language.
She, I think, was very pretty. One night she took me to an outdoor restaurant with a friend of hers who was also very pretty. One of the most uncomfortable evenings I've ever had. The two of them kept looking at me and whispering in Thai and giggling and giving me sexy time eyes.
Nope, wouldn't be prudent.

The economy is actually something that can be affected by perception. The economy is all about perception of the calculation of gain.
Which is how we got into the Carter recession. The government had actually taken to a policy of early intervention when it's indicators suggested that there would be a dip in the economy.
But private observers started using the government actions as a sign that an economic dip was coming and furlough employees and cut back on investment.
It definitely became a self-fulfilling cycle. And then artificial actions in the interest market would not let the interest rates come down to compensate.
So we had stagflation.

I think I know why I hate opera and love ballet, now that i think about it. Ballets are often narrative, but don't have lyrics. The ballet dancers are pure athletes. In combination with professional musicians of high caliber, in a beautiful setting, it's purely sensuous. Just sight and sound in motion together. The lyrics fuck everything up. They're activating the part of my brain I'm trying to turn off for just a little while.

Most of the people bad mouthing him only see clips, and clips chosen for them by other people. And no one asks why they got those clips, instead the decide to go into that "seeded zeitgeist"
no one considers that a confusing narrative has been arranged for getting a lot of people to believe something highly actionable that is mostly untrue, and then it has to be sparked, so everyone starts saying the same things.
It is better to be angry about what you understand and have seen, not what has been shown you by people who may have goals far different than what they are claiming.
"Hate Tucker" could very well be a pretext for "control Vance" or even "Make sure John Huntsman is the candidate so we don't have to worry about Vance doing what he says he will do"
Personally I would take listening to Tucker yammer on if the chance was Vance as Pres for 8 more years.

This is why the folks saying "One Night In Bangkok" is about chess, and the ones saying it's about freaky sex, are both correct.
It's literally a monologue from the guy who's there for the chess tournament, explaining to the degenerates that he is there for the chess, and not the freaky sex.
I don't see you guys rating the kind of 'mate' I'm contemplating.

We all rag on the goat-schtuppers for being inbred, but the Amish are having their own genetic problems. Unlike the deliberate cousin marriage shit practiced in the Muslim cultures for economic reasons, the Plain folks (Mennonites, etc) recognize the peril, but are in this position because of community size. They try to arrange marriages from other, physically distant Amish communities, but, even so, they have a very large number of recessive diseases.

Trump Says He'll End All Federal Payments to Sanctuary Cities
He also said he'd denaturalize foreign-born criminals. Trump is also calling for Kash Patel to fire all of the seditious FBI agents involved in the "Arctic Frost" prosecutions of Republicans for the crime of opposing the Democrat Party.
President Donald Trump announced Tuesday during a speech in Detroit that his administration will cease federal payments to sanctuary cities and states starting next month amid pushback over his immigration policies. ... Trump made the declaration during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, where he also claimed that the United States is at the beginning of an economic boom under his administration. "Starting Feb. 1, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities because they do everything possible to protect criminals at the expense of American citizens," Trump said. "And it breeds fraud and crime and all the other problems that come. So we're not making any payment to anybody that supports sanctuary."
President Trump is publicly demanding a housecleaning at the FBI, calling on Director Kash Patel to remove agents after reacting to a Just the News report detailing how a former senior bureau official helped push the Arctic Frost investigation targeting Trump, Republican organizations, and elected conservatives. In a Truth Social post responding to the article, Trump accused FBI personnel involved in the probe of abusing their authority and urged Patel to act immediately, framing the episode as another example of federal law enforcement being turned against political opponents under prior Democrat leadership. The Just the News report summarizes congressional materials and internal FBI communications related to Arctic Frost, an inquiry that began as a January 6--related investigation but later expanded well beyond the Capitol riot. According to the documents, the probe ultimately placed Trump himself -- along with major conservative groups and GOP officeholders -- under scrutiny, even as agents acknowledged internally that there was no direct evidence tying Trump to criminal conduct. Records released by Chuck Grassley identify then--FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault as a key figure in driving that expansion. Internal emails show Thibault circulating left-leaning media articles, opinion pieces, and podcasts to colleagues as justification for escalating the probe, while privately conceding the evidentiary basis involving Trump was weak. ... Emails reviewed by lawmakers show Thibault pressing colleagues to include "DJT" in Arctic Frost's launch paperwork and encouraging the use of open-source material and human intelligence to justify the probe after the fact. ... The scope of Arctic Frost extended beyond Trump. Congressional materials cited in the reporting show the probe widened to include major conservative institutions, including the Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk. Patel has since confirmed that his internal review uncovered extensive surveillance and data collection involving elected officials -- eight Republican senators and one congressman -- with records stored in a restricted FBI cyber vault requiring top-level authorization. Patel testified that he located the materials, terminated agents involved, and dismantled CR-15, the Washington Field Office's public corruption unit, which he described as the center of politically motivated misconduct within the bureau.

This is a very public shot across the bow of every FBI jackoff in the bureau, not to mention one of Trump's patented outrageous statements that causes the usual suspects to screech like scalded cats, setting them up for humiliation and ridicule.

Unless and until SCOTUS throws a hard smack down on these imperial judges nothing is going to change.
Trump will do something and immediately he will be sued by a liberal and another liberal judge will slap an injunction on him and it will work it's way to SCOTUS where Trump will usually win. It's tiresome and a very good tactic for the left.

bongino found out that you can't just walk into a job in DC and fire whoever you want to and get rid of the problem employees as quick as he thought he could. In other words, the DC deep state and civil service protection laws prevented him from doing what he wanted to accomplish as deputy director. Instead of bashing his head against the wall for 3 years he quit.
On one of his last radio shows he hinted that might be the outcome after he took the job and actually got to work in DC.

We boarded that false-flagged "Russian" Venezuelan tanker bound from Iran, over strenuous, borderline-belligerent objections from Putin. Now, there's no particular reason he'd need or even want VZ oil, especially at this juncture, so internet sleuths have been surmising that this tanker might actually have been carrying the leftover materiele from Iran's badly damaged nuclear program.
I don't buy this, because I can't see a compelling motive on either end of that putative transaction. But I could easily see it being an arms shipment of *some* kind - perhaps Iranian drones, would be pretty useful to Russia at this time.
The Russians have an in-house expert on this exact type of operation who recently came in from the cold.
So... what if it turned out that it was in fact an arms shipment of some kind, and that it was a Viktor Bout Production?
What if Biden traded the Merchant of Death for a doped-up rugmunching hermaphrodite ladyballer, and the motherfucker immediately started fencing Iranian weapons to enemies of the US?

Marx's History could have been true. However, the doctrine demands investment into the idea to "make it true". Mankind has been the subject to all kinds of delusions. Marxism is just one.
But it has set the idea of what life "should be". (Despite Hume having seriously destabilized the idea of "should".)

Bullshit like this should be grounds for, not just a ban from holding political office, but revocation of citizenship and deportation to whatever country (if there even is one) where "Kwame" is a thing.
This isn't a racial thing, by the way.
The same goes for names like "Timothée" Chalamet. Dude, you can either change your name to Timothy or you can move to motherfucking France.
Same goes for names like "Tiffaneee" or "Lexxus". If you're going to do that, you might as well save time and just turn the baby over to the porn industry to raise.
Some of the European countries require that you choose your baby's name from an authorized list. I was never a fan of that, but after seeing some of the retarded nonsense people name their kids, I begin to see the appeal.

So, we have:
1) Agitators on the streets of these cities, violently blocking and impeding enforcement
2) Various rulings that he can't use the National Guard, even to assist with mere guard duties
3) pending rulings that will say he can't use ICE
4) pending rulings that will say he can't cut off funds
So, what method is left to the Executive to enforce the law?
Note also that every one of these is happening in only blue cities and states.
What do you call it when the Executive can only enforce the law in some areas but the local officials bar him from enforcing it in others?

We've let the concept of "sanctuary city" simmer too long on the American brain for them to know this isn't a legitimate concept.
It was more a *toleration*. But we let this idea infest the American mind.

Justice D-EI Babbles Incoherently and Proves the Danger of Socially Promoting Retards for Racial Beancounting Purposes
Sorry for the low-effort blogging. I am bushed today.

🚨 BREAKING: Attorney EXPERTLY PUMMELS SCOTUS Justice Ketanji Jackson's argument in favor of men in women's sports in the name of "transgender rights" JACKSON: "But they are being prevented from playing on the team that matches their gender identity, correct?!" ATTORNEY: "That's the effect...so let me use your example from earlier. You said there's a cisgender woman, she can play on the team she wants." "There's a boy who identifies as a girl, he can't play on the team he wants." "Take that same boy and switch his gender identity, but say he still wanted to play on the girls' team. Say he was a very unathletic boy. He likewise COULD NOT play on the team." "So it's NOT the gender identity that's keeping him off the girls' team, it's his biological s*x. His gender identity is wholly irrelevant to it."

The Bee addresses Justice D-EI's profound learning disability.
"Given that half the states are allowing it, allowing transgender girls and women to participate, about half are not, why would we at this point, just the role of this court, jump in and try to constitutionalize a rule for the whole country while there's still, as you say, uncertainty and debate?" Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked. The court has six justices who are considered conservative leaning and three considered liberal leaning. Kavanaugh, a President Trump nominee, coached a girls' basketball team at his daughters' school for years. On Tuesday, he called the rise of female athletics "inspiring" and questioned whether striking down the bans would eliminate decades of progress. "There's a harm there, and I think we can't sweep that aside," he said. Justice Samuel Alito noted that female athletes across the country have voiced opposition to biological boys identifying as girls competing against and alongside them. "What do you say about them. Are they bigots?" Alito asked. "Are they deluded in thinking they are subjected to unfair competition?"

That is how we became so "sophisticated".
Unfortunately the sophisticated practice is to "grant arguendo" the opponents premise. And you end up using their phrases and models. And sometimes we can get wound up in their "values" and their absurdity.
Sexual equalizing is a reasonable pursuit, and can promote refinement. Sexual interchangeability is far from reasonable and just creates absurdity.

If, at any given time in your entire life, if you have never had to think about or worry about contracting prostate cancer, you are a woman.
There are many crossover cancers that both sexes have to worry about, Long, breast, blood, brain, but there are a few that do not cross over no matter how much you want to think it does. Endometrial, ovarian, and prostate cancer do not crossover.

If the Democrats get the Senate and White House, their going to unload a truckful of ideological morons onto the Supreme Court.

What in the everloving fuck was going on with Margot Honecker's (Die Lila Hexe) crazy purple hair? I've never heard anyone explain *why* she did that, just *that* she did.
I'm going with this: Margot Honecker was the ur-Karen. A pushy, frigid Marxist virago with danger hair who relentlessly tormented everyone around her.
She's the template for the affluent white American female. Other spiritual defectives at American universities looked at the glorious heights of unrestrained bitchiness she attained, and began subconsciously emulating her. The social contagion spread, and now we have a country run by millions of Margots.

Worst judge/justice? Possibly not, by a long shot. This cretin will, with luck, do little damage. The Kennedys and Roberts and many other "credentialed" disasters have continued and intensified the judiciary's decades' long assault on common sense, the constitution, and American civic values. She's a pathetic and perfect monument to the degradation of America by racist-authoritarian idiots, but if impact is considered far from the worst.

Counterpoint: while the GOP seems like a bunch of feckless squishes and many here want Trump to behave just as ruthlessly as Biden, that's actually counterproductive.
If we want to truly save society, we have to accept constraints and try to maintain the old order as best as possible, otherwise there's no place for the center to go. Total collapse.
What Trump is doing is owning the idea of order in the face of the Dems' chaos. This is what Franco did - and how even before the war was over, people were fleeing from "red" Spain into the Nationalist zone. It wasn't politics, it was law and order.
You can't have law and order by behaving like anarchists.

That's not what I wrote. I said that the old order must be sustained as much as possible. ICE is part of that order.
My point is simply that one cannot be lawless, and then claim to be upholding the law. The Dems tried it and failed spectacularly. They will continue to do so.
Meanwhile, just be being normal, the center-right gains a tremendous advantage. Frustrating, but in the long term, it is the path to victory. The left will eventually start eating its own. It's already starting. All the old Dem leaders will be pulled down, starting with Chuck Schumer.

I keep hoping that, but we're dealing with the Alien in the left. At every loss they "change shape".
Just like the plan above is that they shut up about ICE until they seem sane and win the election. Then they can impeach Trump and put ICE in carbonite.

She seems to be trying to prove she's a brilliant jurist by asking more questions than any other two or three Justices combined. Sad. All she does by that is proving she does not belong on SCOTUS.

The implication that you could still tell--in most cases--sexual differences. The question is do you accept the argument on "gender".
But then we asked: if you're the gender you are regardless of equipment, why change the equipment and why take hormones of the other sex?
They couldn't answer, so the shell game had to get more complex.

Agree. But they weren't saying that gender was "biological" at the time.
The thing was at one time "sex" became an impolite word, as it was the shortened form of "sexual intercourse" so prigs started to use the linguistic difference called "gender". It was never about biology, but the way that in language we capture a difference made by sex.
"Neuter" is a *gender* in language. There is no neuter sex. But it refers to language constructions that do not refer to a sex as metaphor.
Gender only referred to language. But the way that languages casted sexual character was chosen as a oblique reference to the first definition of the word "sex".
So in that sense, "gender" really seemed to indicate the collection of impressions of the difference of sex.

But if gender stereotypes are something to be countered, then why change your junk was still a sharp question.
T-advocates have never been able to answer the sensible questions, so they cut right to the "bigotry" of not adopting their viewpoint.
Also if it takes centuries for a society to create a "gender stereotype", how to you have one of your own, instantly? If gender is "socially constructed" how do you say your conceits are the "same thing"?
"Social constructs" are at least put through some tests of fire, arguably. Perhaps they were too limiting to women, but that doesn't make it so its the same thing as a personal notion.
Now it's a clusterfuck where they simply demand obedience to a jumbled doctrine to "show you're nice".

If "transgender" is anything, it is a mental disorder. "Transgender" is not a description of "someone of one sex who has transitioned to the opposite sex", but rather "someone with a mental disorder who believes they are the opposite sex".
So all this discussion is about allowing mentally disordered men and women play in sports, when the discussion should be about addressing the mental disorder.

NBC NEWS, translated: "Democrats warned to stop saying stuff they believe out loud before the midterms."

YouGov just released a poll that says that 45% of the American public supports abolishing ICE and 43% opposes it.
This poll will be used as justification to ignore this advice.
Also, the poll is complete garbage and is a Harris +10 poll.

Yeah, it's called "felony murder" sweetcheeks. Thanks for the confession! I'm sure several members of Trump's DoJ are masturbating furiously over that revelation.

She was receiving conflicting instructions, with an officer telling her to get out of the car and others telling her to drive.
See that?
She didn't know who to listen to (the officer with a gun or her wife with a cell phone? lol) everyone was yelling at her, it's not her fault, she's a woman, she emotional, and easily confused.
But, this lie serves another purpose:
They are trying to shoehorn her case in to other caselaw, that a person receiving conflicting instruction--from multiple officers, mind you--negates the reasonableness of lethal force.

I think most women have never learned that lesson, ever. At least the ones that under 40.
If you're at say a kids sporting event, I'm amazed how women will basically just say things to a guy that would mean a fist fight in the parking lot, but they have no fear because if a male so much as touches them, their life would be ruined.
And I'm not saying I want these guys to hit women, but women need to stop acting like they are surrounded by a force field.
There is a certain level of verbal escalation and taunting where if I was a jury member, I would say they asked for it.

And in 29 years, I've never had to park perpendicularly to a street that I'm on.
I really don't know how that squares with "dropping some one off" or "being on your way home from work".
But that's just me. I'll leave that to the programs that can justify anything for the cause. And use whatever rhetoric that "works". (h/t Harry Reid)

Men protect, and back down from threats when they are wrong and their loved ones are in danger.
She perfectly shows the difference between men and women. Women have no grasp of consequences and no need to protect the people and things they love.

I think most women have never learned that lesson, ever. At least the ones that under 40.
If you're at say a kids sporting event, I'm amazed how women will basically just say things to a guy that would mean a fist fight in the parking lot, but they have no fear because if a male so much as touches them, their life would be ruined.
And I'm not saying I want these guys to hit women, but women need to stop acting like they are surrounded by a force field.
There is a certain level of verbal escalation and taunting where if I was a jury member, I would say they asked for it.

Bear, Dylan is one of two top-flight songwriters who should never have been allowed within light-years of a recording studio (the other being Leonard Cohen). Almost every cover of their tunes is better than their own; the exception that comes to mind is Bono's version of Hallelujah. Avoid at all costs.

There is another video from Mnpls that shows some haggard troll woman harassing an ICE officer in a vehicle and trying to beat on his window and hood. She had a bullhorn in her hand yelling at everyone around her. ICE guy stopped at the intersection, rolled down the window and when Karen dumbass approached again, sprayed her full in the face with pepper spray. She staggered back, fell, and dropped the bullhorn. No one helped her back up. ICE man moved on.

On an icy Friday morning, Mahad Omar watched armed federal agents run down the street and tackle one of his neighbors to the ground. They handcuffed the man and put him inside a black-tinted S.U.V. Mr. Omar, 28, an Uber driver, immigrated to Minneapolis from Somalia two decades ago. He had never imagined seeing something like that in his community.

Tell these boxmunching NPC women that ICE only uses rubber bullets on them because they only hunt brown people for sport.
Embolden the NPCs, and ensure that one eventually gets killed. The profit politically from the blood of your credulous peons, and perhaps get a nice riot out of the bargain.
I bet you're completely correct... it would explain her completely inexplicable that cops have actual bullets in the guns. She probably earnestly believed they had orders to use rubber bullets.

There was a video I saw last night of an extremely obese woman harassing ICE. It was scary since you fear she could easily fall and never be able to get up again.
I wondered about the people around her egging her on -- do they not even consider the risk she is putting on herself? Or maybe that is considered an asset if she stroked out and became a martyr.

I used to love that show, including how over the top it was on that very level. At one point the team is evading a helicopter; they manage to get the helicopter to crash into the side of a mountain. The helicopter spirals down to the ground and crashes. And the camera makes sure to show the people inside getting out.
In my memory it also explodes on the way down, but that’s probably not true. It should have been, though.

OK, point taken.
You are right that I mean *some* women.
But I am talking about something deeper -- women have an innate protection mode, but they also have a no-limits attack mode.
What I am trying to say (and I admit I said it poorly) is that men will back down and women won't. Men will weigh costs and decide it is not worth it, and those costs include damage to their kids or family.

I think you mean SOME women, but the truth is that women are hard-wired to protect their families, and of course we know what consequences are.
There are always ignorant idiots around, and some are men, and some are women. Would you like to be lumped in with the men who rape women, or beat them? Of course not, because you don't rape women or beat them. So why are you lumping all women in with these ignorant lesbian idiots?

In "Morning Glory Silking Farm" a spherical Guatemalan milkmaid finds love in the shadows of Trump's America when she is forced to extract silk from enormous arachnid breeding studs for slave wages.
Read as her fear turns to lust, when she grasps the turgid spinneret of Shelob, a stern but sensual spider chimera with the head of a man, and the insatiable ardor of an eight-legged love machine.

He inquired whether a boy who had never had surgeries or puberty blockers but still identified as a girl could be denied the ability to participate. After all, woke liberal logic is that you must oblige a person’s feelings on identity and seek to accommodate their wishes.

Posted by: Thomas Bender
The first better-than-average version of X will become popular.
Beatles were the first "pop/rock-n-roll band" to make it big.
Star Wars was the first "space opera film" to make it big. (Star Trek I was two years later, tho it had been on the small screen earlier.)
Same as Iron Maiden to metal, Nirvana to grunge, etc.
Being both "first" and "good" doesn't automatically make you the "best," which is where a lot of the "I don't get its" come from, I think.
If another band with the same physical appearance and performance/compositional skill level as the Beatles arrived in 1976, or 1994, or 2015, would they have automatically been a "world wide phenomenon," or just another pop band?

Don't take things so personal -- when I say "men" or "women" I obviously do not mean all men or women, or even most.
What I mean, (and what I hope most people can understand) is that there is a marginal propensity among men or women in that direction. It is a generalization to simplify the argument. I am looking at the mean and noting that the mean for one group is a little more in one direction than for the other group.
This is how we talk when we understand that humans are all unique and our traits are on a normal distribution curve and you can not apply any generalization to an individual. I am sure that there are good, hardworking, honest Somalians, but I am not going to qualify my statements everytime I say that they are not good for the country and I want them all out, for example.

HARTNETT: I, I, would respect their self-identity in addressing this person, but in terms of statute, does that person have a sex-based biological advantage that’s going to be unfair for that person to be part of the women’s team? That’s the rationale for the regulation, and that’s the way we would be testing that…

Yet if they checked on the webz, they'd learn ICE has been issuing orders for a long time to protestors to cease interference with ICE ops and arresting those not complying. They'd learn that courts have not issued orders to ICE to cease doing those things. Because ICE is legally doing those things.

They were just orders of magnitude better than anything that was currently popular in the cultural zeitgeist. And it’s not that they were simply great, they were also prolific, what we think of as Beatlmania lasted for seven years and in that time they released 12 studio albums and pretty much every album could be considered a greatest hits album in its own right.
If you watch Rick Bragg, literally every artist he’s had on sites The Beatles as a major influence.

They WANT what they believe to be true. Or, as "they" say, it is "their truth." I cannot relate at all to being so ugly in all ways (face and thoughts) to do this crap. And that is all it is: an outlet for their anger of being ugly and ignored. Or so I think. Years of indoctrination. Years of feeling bullied and left out and mental illness taking the place of normal self-esteem. Landman's episode of dyke in the dorm is an example.
The underbelly of reddit and social media feed this fire of insanity. As they did for anything Trump related. They cannot and will not change their thinking. They will become more angry and more dangerous.
I guess the Dyke Widow thought they had Nerf or paint guns. Wrong!
They had their little protest and found out that it is not fun, games and popcorn to interfere with the federal investigation of an illegal.

He laughed, and I felt a thrill at his contempt for my rules. He was the law, but also a rebel!
"Kick and ass," he said, moving me towards the idling SUV. I felt secret shame at all his buddies laughing at my expense, but then something completely unexpected happened. He gave me a reassuring pat the shoulder.
He wasn't a monster! How could he be so strong and also kind? My mind was reeling, and I felt feverish as he patted me down for weapons. I never wanted it to stop.

I have outsiders review my professional work after I go through several iterations plus conference presentations before submission to journal along with the lengthy rewrite to fix what the editors want.
Personally, I rewrite in my head multiple times now before I put something down literally using my internal voice. And then rewrite again if possible. But I can miss obvious problems because I see what isn't there sometimes. So for mission critical, I use outsiders for long documents.

Lucas spent a good portion of his life bringing this story to screen. And was on a schedule to produce the sequels.
That said, if his wife hadn't stepped up to recut the original, it probably would have been a lot more of a snorefest.

The moros Juramentados would bind themselves tightly with white cotton cloth bandages to suppress the bleeding, and get hella stoned on hash before setting out to kill as many foes as possible.
However, yes, the determination was that the .38 revolver was not as good as a .44 or .45
The Army felt the French 11mm Ordinance pistol was a good start, but it would not penetrate a horse's skull if it struck slightly oblique, The .45 ACP was accepted in trials in part because it would.

I think a few really good writers can work in prose as they do in fiction but not many. Asimov comes to mind, Thomas Fleming is another, but Tolkien's professional work was much less interesting than his fiction or rewriting fictional stories. I find the opposite with CS Lewis.

The other lie, and not just about ICE, is that all protest arrests are "catch and release" with no fine, record, or jail time.
That is something we really need to change. These people need to have consequences. I am sorry that the antifa infiltrators and instigators at J6 were pardoned (the few who were charged.) Trump had a chance to say that no-one gets to break things or harm police without spending time in jail. I know why he did it, though.

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at January 13, 2026 04:47 PM (uEUHC)
I'd say you have it backwards. It was the "wife" who insisted on not backing down, and the driver (and driving is often something of a "guy thing") was LARP-ing as the "husband" appeasing "his" "wife" by doing as she urged.
Although an ACTUAL man would likely have refused, understanding full well where that would go, and having the instinct to both protect and survive.
But I would say it's not necessarily about backing down when you're wrong, the overriding concern is whether it's a battle you can WIN. Even if you're NOT wrong, you're going to back down, if it just not important enough to get your ass kicked over.

"No More Lonely Nights" was included on the movie "Give My Regards to Broadstreet". Both the album and the movie did well. McCartney had other stuff that charted in the late 80s/early 90s. And I think that he had something (I remember a video of him walking a street playing a mandolin) that charted in the mid 2010s? If he wanted to chart an album, he'd have a better chance at doing so than Paul Simon--McCartney still sells out arenas.

This. I doubt anyone really understands why Star Wars was such a big thing, as they've been trying unsuccessfully to replicate it ever since. The best theory I've seen is that at the height of malaise, Vietnam, "put on a sweater" and a movie season where everything at the box office was grim, cynical and dirty - along comes a film that's bright, optimistic, it has heroes and villains and you know which is which and you're allowed to cheer the heroes and boo the villains, and it's a pastiche of a ton of movies from your childhood that were actually *fun*. In short, Star Wars became Star Wars because it was the right kind of movie at the right time. Arguably same reason Top Gun: Maverick made a billion dollars.

Bill Clinton Is a No-Show At Congressional Hearing on Jeffrey Epstein; Comer Vows Contempt of Congress Criminal Charges
Steve Bannon went to jail for refusing to show up for testimony.
Former President Bill Clinton appears to have defied a congressional subpoena to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday morning. Clinton was compelled to sit for a sworn closed-door deposition in the House's bipartisan probe into Jeffrey Epstein, but Fox News Digital did not see him before or after the scheduled 10 a.m. grilling. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., had threatened to begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Clinton if he did not appear Tuesday. Comer said Tuesday morning, "We will move next week in the House Oversight Committee ... to hold Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress." "I think everyone knows by now Bill Clinton did not show up. And I think it's important to note that this subpoena was voted on in a bipartisan manner by this committee," Comer told reporters after formally ending the deposition. "No one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. We just have questions. And that's why the Democrats voted, along with Republicans, to subpoena Bill Clinton." He said "not a single Democrat" showed up to the deposition on Tuesday. ... Hillary Clinton had also been subpoenaed to appear on Wednesday but likely will not show up. The Clintons' attorney sent Comer a letter confirming they're challenging the legality of the subpoenas issued against them. "[T]he Subpoenas issued to President and Secretary Clinton are invalid and legally unenforceable. Mindful of these defects, we trust you will engage in good faith to de-escalate this dispute," reads the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital. ... "Your continued insistence that the former President and Secretary of State can be compelled to appear before the Committee under these circumstances, however, brings us toward a protracted and unnecessary legal confrontation that distracts from the principal work of the Congress with respect to this matter, which, if conducted sincerely, could help ensure the victims of Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell are afforded some measure of justice for the crimes perpetrated against them, however late. But perhaps distraction is the point."
You’re right, President Clinton. This is about right and wrong.

Epstein’s survivors deserve justice and answers.
Refusing to comply with a bipartisan, duly authorized congressional subpoena in our Epstein investigation is unacceptable.

Clinton could have showed up and claimed privilege. He didn't do that; he just defied a lawful subpoena https://t.co/WEk4lJqMOP

What does Contempt of Congress even mean, materially? I have a lot of contempt for them myself.

I've advised clients to duck subpoenas, to object to them, to challenge them, to basically wipe their asses with them. Sure, maybe after rounds of contempt proceedings and 18 months of bullshit, maybe a judge finally orders my client to appear or produce documents. Maybe.
But until a judge formally orders compliance with a subpoena, they are basically meaningless pieces of paper.

I'm not holding out hope that the judges won't find some reason to find that the Obama case against Jan Brewer is (D)ifferent from Trump exercise of supremacy. And needs a "updated review" of the exercise of government powers.
The SCOTUS is making itself into Phillip V of Spain, and somebody just posted how many cases a year they have to refuse--despite that they have chosen to absorb review of government action.
The one thing the SCOTUS has been good at throughout its history is expanding the jurisdiction of the SCOTUS as the last word.

I don't know enough about Congressional subpoenas or the scope of their authority to opine on the enforceability of this subpoena. But claiming a subpoena is "unenforceable" or "invalid" is Legal 101 to try to get out of it. If nothing else, it will buy time -- sometimes a lot of time, as my comment above describes.

1. Send to DOJ for indictment of a Federal Misdemeanor that would include fines and up to a year in the pokey.
2. Pursue Civil Contempt charges in Federal Court which takes forever to resolve.
3. A dusty old process called Inherent Contempt which gives the Congress the ability to arrest and detain. This hasn't been applied in ages, but you can bet it will be once the Dems get back in power.

Yes and no. Congress has the power to issue subpoenas. But if I get served with a Congressional subpoena and say "fuck off," Congress has limited remedies to sanction or compel me to comply. For sanctions with real teeth, Congress has to go to a judge for a formal order.

Oligarchy is close enough for me.

In a system that pretends to be about representation of the people, any aristocracy is oligarchy. Because it has to delude the people into thinking their vote makes a difference.

Partially true, until the House votes for contempt, then not legally enforceable. When they do, then yes, they can either refer to the DoJ, file a civil lawsuit, or use their Sgt at Arms to arrest and detain the Clintons under McGrain v Daugherty. Inherent power of Congress to investigate.
The Clintons are hinting that their defense will be this is not a legitimate exercise of the Congressional investigative power but the Epstein release bill means that is a loser argument if not at the addlepated district courts in DC, then the appellate courts.
Jan 6 indifference by the Court and contempt charges by DoJ to key Trump officials send the message to courts that this is a political question and thus Congress and the DoJ can proceed without courts quashing the subpoenas.

Leadership supports Comer in this case. A little payback to teh Dems and renegade GOP members that pushed the Epstein resolution. The Dems will smear shit on their face if they vote against contempt for 2026 elections neutralizing Epstein issue and the renegade GOP members like Mace and Boebert, if not Massie, will be forced to walk the plank for it too. Boebert is running for reelection and Mace is running for SC governor, voting against contempt would likely hurt both in Nov.

The left declared a jihad on Clarence Thomas for supposedly flirting with a co-worker and then shortly thereafter rushed to defend Bill Clinton be having an affair with an intern and sexually harassing an underling.
Then they declared Trump an Epstein client and we got pictures of Clinton on Epstein island...

Difference is that leadership supports Comer in this case because of the politics of the Epstein issue. It puts the Democrats on the back foot again if they try to stop a contempt vote for the Clintons, especially with what has come out. So it would be for politics in neutralizing 2026 attacks on the issue. And it would force those GOP discharge petition signers to walk the plank as well, you can't claim virtue if you refuse to compel the Clintons to testify. Assie might vote differently but Boebert, Mace, and a few others will have no such cover in primaries coming up.

Everyone already knows he was on The Island and partied with Epstein's girls. So what do they have that's new? Slick Willy spent his lifetime lying. What's a few more denials about prostitution, underage girls, etc.

Also when the GOP got Congress, it was regular for departments under Obama to simply blow off oversight meetings.
They knew that without the DoJ to prosecute, Congressional umbrage was hollow.
The whole Comey prosecution is going a very similar way, with his defense essentially argument "but he's James Comey!"

I dunno. It all depends on the attitude of the judge. I saw a judge order deputies to find and lock up a guy who ignored a witness subpoena in a civil case. Witness had been advised by his attorney not to show. Witness spent the night in jail. Lawyer was found in contempt as well and had his license suspended for 6 months.

Technically, you might be right. But in practice, just send a letter objecting to the subpoena. I've never once in my career moved to quash a subpoena. I just objected to them. If the other side then ask the court to compel me, I would fight it out there. A long time later, maybe the judge would order my client to comply. Maybe.

This may be the single dumbest thing anyone ever said in connection with Epstein.
If he did nothing wrong, then why subpoena him. Call his lawyer, and ask your questions. He is a former President, for crissakes, show some respect if all you want is questions answered.
But if he is suspected of doing "wrong", as he so obviously should be, then fricking SAY SO you mealy-mouthed idiot. If you are calling a former President to a public embarrassment, then say why.

Trump is a deal-maker. He'll try to make a deal with anybody as long as that's on the table.
He's really not a conservative except if you think that wanting to conserve sanity is some sort of niche and shouldn't be the mainstream.
He said at the beginning that he thought conservative America was an underserved constituency. And he's been trying to restore a bit more sanity by serving those who stand athwart "progress".

One thing to remember about this - Paula Jones didn't come out and accused Clinton out of the blue.
The American Spectator interviewed Clinton's security detail who confirmed Clinton did this sort of stuff constantly - one of the cases the security detail mentioned ended up being Paula Jones and this prompted her to sue because she did not want people to think that she took Clinton's offer of favor at work for sex.
In between the story breaking and Jones suing the FNM declared this was all lies...but Clinton agreeing to pay Jones to stop her civil suit says it was all true...

I'd add, and by the time that she started moving to the point she hit him, there's no way he could have had the time to see the tires turn.
That is, as a matter of law, it takes 0.75 seconds from seeing to reacting.
Putting even more stupid in the "she was just trying to get away" lie.
Not that it matters, there is no evidence that will ever convince the left to change their minds on this.

Everyone is fixated on the sex angle which is understandable but Epstein was a CIA asset. Mike Benz has done a detailed report on what he was up to and it sounds like Epstein was a financial middleman with some of the scummiest people on earth.
One thing Bill Clinton is is a survivor. He might want to keep surviving.

If they're serious they will use Inherent Contempt. Of course, if the go the statutory criminal contempt route, I think Jeanine Pirro would have the balls to arrest Slick.

I would not be surprised if Webb has evidence that Chelsea is not Bill's but his. But that only works if you are not a threat to Killary. So the disappearing act. He also did not return to Arkansas after having to resign from his post at DoJ. Mark Middleton and others were foolish enough to return and Mark Middleton committed suicide in a farmer's field by shooting himself with a shotgun while hanging from a tree.

===============
an old girlfriend of mine had this happen to her. Hillary and her mother were college friends and they had dinner together while on vacation, after Bill lost his re-election campaign in Arkansas. She got up to go to the bathroom, Bill was waiting for her in the hallway when she came out, he trapped her up against the wall and tried kissing her. Pleaded with her to meet him on the first tee after everyone was in bed, for sex, and she declined. She was maybe 17 at the time.

He said at the beginning that he thought conservative America was an underserved constituency. And he's been trying to restore a bit more sanity by serving those who stand athwart "progress".
Whatever he was in 2015, he's been through hell from the left. I think it's very unlikely he hasn't shifted in his political views, if for no other reason than that he's seen the kind of people who oppose him.

The worse Trump will do is arrest him and put him on trial. Heck many on the Left will give him the Al Franken treatment if he becomes a major liability.
But there are those on the Left who are far more militant to worry about. He courts their support but doesn't understand the price they will demand for that loyalty.

Just another stupidity folk tale from the left's fever swamps. They don't think ICE can arrest citizens, don't believe they are committing a crime when obstructing ICE arrests or hitting them, trying to grab their guns, etc., or throwing shit at them.
This is because they get away with that shit all the time in blue city protests and the police rarely do jack shit to the pampered pets.
So it goes to their thinking that ICE might pepper spray us, use tasers, bean bag shotgun rounds, or hit us, but not SHOOT us with real bullets for violence against them.
ICE are not riot cops, they are there to snatch armed and dangerous criminals so of course they are armed. They are not riot police in friendly cities.

"They" is the keyword. I don't think Comer has anything earthshattering. But, someone could easily be safeguarding documentation. Intelligence community, foreign intelligence, even corporate interests.
Anyone who looks how Epstein was handled back in 2006 know it didn't add up. He was, absolutely, nailed on the underage issues and about 13 other charges. Palm Beach County detectives pulled out all the stops. Then, the Feds stepped in and lowered it to two charges. Soliciting prostitution being the most severe. He gets an NPA (Non-Prosecution Agreement) from the Feds without any leverage, and the Feds didn't even bother to tell the victims of his crimes about that. He gets sentence to work release and no records show him even visiting the half-way house.
Epstein was working for someone after that...likely the CIA regardless of all the denials. And, they'd be my first guess at who holds any documentation on the Island antics.

From wiki,
During the first Clinton administration, Middleton served as a special assistant to the President and as an aide to Chief of Staff Mack McLarty. His main task at the White House was to maintain contact with Clinton's various donors. He was involved in facilitating access to the White House for various visitors, including financier Jeffrey Epstein. Records indicate that Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995, with many of those visits authorized by Middleton. He also flew with Epstein on his private jet in May 1994.
On May 7, 2022, Middleton was found dead at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, approximately 30 miles from his home. His death was ruled a suicide; authorities reported that he was found hanging from a tree with an extension cord around his neck and a shotgun wound to his chest. The circumstances of his death prompted public speculation.

Transactional or complete immunity which compels him/her to answer all questions. Same as what Ollie North and John Poindexter did. Makes it very hard to prosecute subsequently as both North and Poindexter had their Iran Contra convictions tossed because of it.

Just because I have no hope in man righting the situation doesn't mean that I don't do things within reason to advocate for a stable society.
But people these days are like nailing jello. And they would have me be "reasonable" to adjust to their doublespeak. Which I can't do--not without some kind of path from where I am now.
It's hard to view the judges as a class of experts stealing away the discretion of the republic on the basis that they are better thinkers in the mathematical space of law and rights and think that *I* can do any more than condemn the doublethink that screeches about "democracy" but day to day empowers "judicial review" in everything.

Remember when early in the first term, Bill had thugs go through all the security clearance documents for the GOP officeholders. They document affairs, being gay, financial matters, past misdeeds, etc. and I suspect that Bill and his thuggish PI, Jack Palladino grabbed a bunch of incriminating information so as to blackmail a lot of teh GOP establishment.
Obama put that spying on GOP members on steroids with operatives having access to new and old NSA intercepts in real time. Plus some of the worst requests were laundered through 5 Eyes and probably Dearlove's private security firm in the UK.

Sgt at Arms originally was charged with making sure that members could not stay away from the chamber during quorum calls. So normally, their role is that but they do have the power to enforce a chamber's ruling on 'arresting' and 'detaining' a witness. They used to do security before the Capitol Hill cops were created.

You know, I have a theory about that. "FileGate". Hillary was involved to some extent. And, while I think you nailed one of the purposes (developing opposition research). I think Hillary used some of those files for recruitment of her anticipated Presidential run down the road. I think that's how James Comey shot up the promotion ladder so quickly. He got a nice promotion to Richmond in Clinton's second term.
It always bothered me how loyal certain well place people in govt are to Hillary despite her lack of redeeming qualities. I think those FBI vetting files were also about her setting up players for her team by giving them vocational assistance through Bill's White House.

This Epstein sex scandal stuff has been one of the greatest tactical moves in a while.
• Trump gets slimed even though he had nothing to do with Epstein.
• The DOJ is spending huge amounts of time to redact millions of documents rather than pursuing anything else.
• Epstein is associated with sex crimes even though its obvious to those who see the world other than one titillating story after another has an information, influence and money laundering operation - that all is off the news.
• this reinforces the idea that the entire system is rigged and the population loses faith in the authorities.
In the end, all of the criminals walk off in the sunset with all of their plunder.

I am pretty sure that's where they got the goods to embarrass Hastert.
But Hastert also needed to be embarrassed, but not just where it served the Clinton's purpose.
It was ridiculous where they left it. It's like Craig Livingstone wandered off a White House tour, found an empty office and started ordering FIB files as reading material.
Nobody hired the guy. Nobody "remembers" hiring the guy.
It's easy peasy for the administration to slip info from the FIB files to Stern.

Arkansas was a very rural state and governors had a two year term as well as other state officers, so Billy Jeff was always campaigning to the point I think he actually talked to all the voters in Arkansas at one time or another. Arkansas only had about 1.6 million at the time and Clinton ran every two years from 1974 to 1990 for office when they changed to terms to four years.

Trump Ends "Temporary" Protected Status for Thousands of Somali Pirate Nomads
BTW, most Somalis are, unfortunately, citizens by now. This doesn't affect them. But... that's no reason for blackpilling. Change almost never comes with one magic silver bullet. It comes from a lot of small changes sustained over time.Search their bags on their way out:
Trump administration ends temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis in US Several thousand Somali nationals currently living in the US must leave the country by March 17 FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection. Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17. "Temporary means temporary," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law's requirement for Temporary Protected Status." "Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests," Noem added. "We are putting Americans first."
Update: They'll even skim the money they give to you to bribe a juror.

@nettermike BREAKING: TSA data reveal nearly $700 million in declared US cash flagged in luggage by Somali couriers departing Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and yet the Biden The White House told TSA to stand down. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Administration (TSA) flagged approximately $692 million ($342.4 million in 2024 and $349.4 million in 2025) in declared U.S. currency detected in passengers' luggage departing from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP)--roughly $1 million per day over the two years--John Solomon, the editor-in-chief of Just the News reports. The investigative reports state that most of these cash transports were carried by Somali-American couriers on flights to Somalia or other Middle Eastern destinations. The cash was legally declared (as required for amounts over $10,000 under U.S. law), so no immediate seizures or arrests occurred at the airport. However, federal authorities are now probing these movements as potentially linked to money laundering and the export of proceeds from large-scale fraud schemes in Minnesota. Federal investigators suspect fraud proceeds were converted to cash and exported via couriers (often using informal hawala networks common in Somali culture for remittances). Some probes have allegedly linked funds to regions in Somalia controlled by al-Shabaab (a terrorist group). Source: The Tennessee Star
Treasury Sec. Bessent tells @christopherrufo one of the many shocking fraud stories out of MN: "One of the Somali fraudsters tried to bribe a juror with $120,000. As it turned out, she had been given $200,000 to bribe the juror and she skimmed $80,000." https://t.co/c9C3CwCROH pic.twitter.com/Na7i0DlLa3

I just don't get the energy people expend at Congressmen doing nothing at this point.
The Somali fraud was...fraud. It was all illegal. No new law is going to make it extra illegal.
But, on the other hand, DOJ is largely black box, and people don't even pay attention when DOJ opens up slightly and lets in a peek at what's going on with filings. So, suspicion that nothing is happening abounds until a particular figure in mind is in chains.

And because, if they can lose their status due to the President finding a generalized fraud by the community (which they are going to scream is racist), then they also lose their basis for preventing de-naturalization due to the same finding of fraud.

I really believe that America chose no king, because in a majority of people's eyes *Jesus* was king.
But that solves only what man sees as wrong, and doesn't stop what the proud man doesn't see. So we had injustice that failed to meet our standard.
Which is why IF "MAGA" meant reconstructing any past age of America, I couldn't get behind it. I'm an un-ideological progressive. We should always be trying to make thinks better.

He talks about Uzbekistan, without noting that the Uzbeks are not Pakis. Not arabs, and were squeezed dry by 60 years of Stalin, and they have not really had a chance to become radical (but they will in time.)

I just don't get the energy people expend at Congressmen doing nothing at this point.
The Somali fraud was...fraud. It was all illegal. No new law is going to make it extra illegal.
But, on the other hand, DOJ is largely black box, and people don't even pay attention when DOJ opens up slightly and lets in a peek at what's going on with filings. So, suspicion that nothing is happening abounds until a particular figure in mind is in chains.

Perhaps if Congressmen were loudly verbal about all the fraud and demanding prosecutions.
At this point they are suspiciously silent, which the average citizen will infer that Congress is OK with the fraud and maybe complicit.
I think if they passed a law hiring 85,000 new IRS agents whose sole work is to audit NGOs and government paid service providers, maybe that would help too.

Madison laid out the foundation of "enlightened personal interest" and that was again, like the balance of powers, the forces at work against each other would provide stability. The country run mostly by its primary stake holders, who could engage a positive self-interest, was quite stable.
But that also worked on a "pauper nation". As America grew in strength and power and people, it also grew in rhetoric and egalitarian ideal.
I think modern man has such a hodge-podge of ideas of "What made America great" that we're bound to create the current mishmash.

Congress is tasked with shepherding the taxpayers' money, to goods and services for the benefit of the taxpayers.
That's not what we have. What we have are people who get bought by all the various factions that buy them, so said congresscritters can funnel taxpayers' money to the entities that own them.

Fascism didn't die in WWII. It simply metastasized into all European states.
I've had Europeans tell me that there is *no party* as "right" as the American "right". So, I would argue that there is no *real* opposition in Britain that says if the State reaches a consensus, it can do it--no matter what "it" is.
And with the state of the UK doling out ridiculous socialism, including feeling the burden to a duty to people who have *physically* wrecked their state-given housing to give those people new houses.
Gentile said that fascism is necessarily socialistic, and Mussolini, his pupil, said the same. Thus you have socialism with unlimited state power, which is basically functional fascism. Or at least the same power dynamic that it shouldn't be considered that much greater than that now defamed *term*.

Very interesting. There is a lot of talk of Fed independence, but not a lot of talk about independence from whom.
By the way, there is no publicly available document that shows what the DOJ sent to Powell. All we have right now is his side of the story. He has had all this time to set the narrative that everyone in DC has their knickers in a twist over. He'd better hope that the document is as inflammatory as he says it is. Something tells me that it is not. If that's indeed the case, his credibility is toast.

A culture birthed the ruthless warlike Germans. They have fully another culture now. I don't think we'll see it again.
In order to attain peace, the Germans had to take the blame for WWI, and that costs them so much in reparations to other countries that a resentful faction rose to power. One country was brow-beaten for WWI, when it was just trying to get a jump on the surrounding Russian-Britain-French alliance. Because Russia was threatening to invade allied Austria for backlash at Slavs killing their ruler.

The Catholics became their enemy when they wouldn't let fat King Henry VIII divorce Catherine of Aragon. I suspect that everything Catholics ever did had to be wrong so therefore them fighting back against the Muslims taking over Christendom was wrong and the love for the enemy of thine enemy was born.

Is it possible that we can’t get even a single day of respite? :-(
Somalis specifically because a lot of them live in Minneapolis. They want to really let ICE off the chain in that city so they can hopefully get a good little riot going. This is after all the same city that rioted after George Floyd. Ideally, they can get the military involved. If all they accomplish is that it makes it harder for democrats to win an election there, that’s fine too.
I lived in Minneapolis for a few years and met many Somali people. Very kind and hard working. Like any group of people, there are bad eggs, but the vast majority are good people who don’t deserve this. My heart breaks that they are being targeted this way. It’s pure racism.

Elica above makes the point that Iranian culture is not the same as the barbaric stone-age Arab/Muslim culture, loves to point out they are descended from Cyrus the Great (who freed the Jews from captivity to go back and start the Second Temple) and all that.
She prompted me to get interested in that (and again, had nothing to do with how hot she is). The Arabs conquered them in 651 AD, I think.

After we saved their asses from their own fuck ups for the second time in the 20th Century, they lost their colonial empire, so they decided that it was their right to stealth-colonize the US and lead us by the nose. Took 'em awhile to get it going though. They've been fucking around with our elections for decades, and really got going on that part of the project by Chocolate Fonzie's second term. And it wasn't the Paki Brits who were doing it.

In Mark Bowdon's Blackhawk Down, the last chapter talked about how the world had basically forgotten that Somalia even existed a couple of years later, but the Somalis were convinced that the world was hanging on, intensely interested in which gang currently controlled the street outside of Abdi's Cellphone Emporium and Internet Cafe in Mogadishu.

That is one of the fundamental changes in the philosophy in governance when the US switched to Income Tax from principally Tariff based financing.
The citizen became a source of revenue, and the state became the rentier directly on the lives of the individual --which suppresses productivity -- instead of focusing on raising revenue from imports which has the unfortunate side effect of raising productivity within the US economy.

Never filled out that form myself, but usually the Fed documentation wants to know your final destination. Did all those couriers lie?
Must be a sketchy MSP Airport "thing".

Silver is a thinly traded market compared to oil. What you have are people convinced that this is Gamestop redux and they could be correct or not about naked shorts needing coverage.
But, anything soaring over 170 percent in one year is not a sustainable market price due to substitution effects and depressing the goods that silver goes into. If you want an inflation hedge, gold right now is the better buy. Silver is a momentum market which turn nasty on the downside.

Commentary, A Somali-American former investigator: why you’re hearing about fraud in my community
In part, "That covers the desire, and here’s where opportunity comes into play: Minnesota’s public programs don’t adequately guard against organized fraud.
The systems intended to catch fraud are mostly designed to root out recipient fraud. It is exceedingly difficult to guard against providers who collude with recipients, which is the type of fraud most pervasive in the Somali community. It is both time-consuming and resource-intensive to investigate complex fraud schemes involving providers who work with recipients to defraud the government, though investigators have trained their eyes: The charges in the most recent Medicaid fraud case allege that the co-conspirators paid kickbacks to lure recipients to their agency.
Let me explain how providers are often duping or colluding with recipients: Both in tradition and culture, and as refugees living in another country, we are a tight-knit community. We share the same language, culture and faith.
Unlike the wider American society, which is increasingly fractured and mistrustful of each other..."

Not logic, naive assumption. Situations are the same until different is another way to put it.
The trick is to figure out when different occurs because then the world appears to go cray cray for a bit until a new equilibrium is reached.
If you like to play with game theory and Bayesian statistics, you can try to work out 'different' and 'stasis' on a prediction chart. FWIW, I think Palantir does something similar but haven't paid much attention to what their predictive models are based upon.

He was collecting evidence for obstruction of federal agent charges by video--you show the position of the vehicle, the license plate, any damage to the vehicle, etc. Fast reactions saved him because he was taken a bit unawares. Analysis shows the vehicle went from 0-7 mph in about a second hitting him.
You can see when things go pear shape as he drops his phone which disrupts the video. He is hit and almost within a 1.5 seconds has pulled his gun and fired the first shot into the windshield.
I think that might have been the kill shot hitting either the upper neck or the skull. From what I have read, one shot went into the body of the door, unlikely to be fatal and another was fired from the side through the open window which could have been a fatal shot but trying to hit a moving vehicle from the side is a difficult shot compared with being squared up and shooting through the windshield

And the state leg and when the GOP held the state Supreme Court, they did nothing to stop the Dems from doing what they did. No redistricting, no impeachment and removal of a Dem Scotus judge, etc. Now they will lose all of Walker's reforms because they just cannot be bothered to fight.
Casual voters see evil shit like the House and Senate voting for billions for refugee settlement, more than the Biden junta got, and doing nothing to stop teh Dems and say why bother.
I am not that way but a lot of normal folks are.
Why bother when the GOP is only half as shitty as the Dems. Plus the GOP state campaign apparatus focus on ads, fliers, and other shit rather than voter harvesting and registering along with GOTV at elections.
